Chapter 2040:

His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire looked at the situation in front of him, his own face twitched vigorously. In the past, he always believed that his army was invincible in the world, and believed that his strength was invincible in the world. The other three The Great Empire is not his opponent at all. As long as he wants to do it, he will definitely be able to destroy them. I didn’t expect that a Cao’s house in the small area can’t handle things that have been disgraced by them before. He didn’t dare to imagine it at the time, but now this is a fact. Many people’s eyes on him have changed, and even her own view of herself has changed. He feels that he may be a guy who has done nothing. Things will not succeed. Now another five hours have passed on the battlefield. During these five hours, his own elite troops were thrown into the north by enemy shells.
For five hours, when the armies of the Middle East Empire continued to use their weapons to fire shells made of Philosopher’s Stone towards the city wall, but the ability of these shells to hit the city wall was visible with the eyes, and there was not much damage at all. It’s been five hours, the enemy’s city walls are still solid, as if it’s not much different from the original appearance. Looking at them again, it seems that they are completely different from five hours ago. The enemy As long as the kind of shells are fired, the people around will definitely suffer. See if their weapons and siege equipment are now a pile of waste, they are of no use at all. His Majesty looked at The man on the wall turned his hand vigorously. If he could rush over and kill this person, His Majesty would definitely act. He knew that he could not rush out like this, and the opponent was not a persimmon.
In the eyes of some people, the ninth-level fighters are already very powerful characters, but on this battlefield, especially the opposite person is Li Cong, the ninth-level fighters are nothing at all, but the opponent's strength has already reached. It's ninth level, and according to information, the opponent's strength to the ninth level fighter has reached its peak state. His Majesty the Emperor has not yet reached his peak state. It can only be said to be a high-level ninth-level fighter. If he really goes out to fight alone, his majesty will definitely be the emperor. He will never let himself fall into such a dangerous situation. He must find a complete assurance. Will shoot. He wanted to let himself go and kill this guy soon. But his own heart would not allow him to do that. He always wanted to defeat the opponent on the battlefield, and climb up from wherever he fell, instead of relying on other methods to make him win so that he was fine.
According to the original battle plan, the army of the Eastern Empire should now be under the city wall. They are already torn apart. Their cavalry should reach under the city wall quickly, and the infantry should also arrange some common actions, but the actual situation is now, don’t talk about what is under the city wall. They can’t even get closer. Now they are still more than 1,000 meters away from the city wall. This 1,000 meters distance is like a gap. It’s impossible to get past. They are already tired. I don’t know how many times. , I don’t know how much gold has been spent, and their siege equipment has been completely destroyed. His Majesty looked at all this in disbelief. This is a total of 500 siege vehicles, and now there is nothing left. , What is that thing about the other party? Since one is born, a siege vehicle worth 500,000 silver can be destroyed.
This is really amazing. His Majesty didn’t think this kind of siege vehicle was so powerful before. In his opinion, it was the guys from the Imperial Ministry of War that they made a fool of themselves, because they gave him it. If they couldn’t make any progress in the northern battlefield, they would want their heads. So these guys got out this nondescript thing. After this thing came out, they didn’t make a contribution to themselves, but instead used their own treasury. It's empty for Hua. These things know that they came out just in time for the northern battlefield to end, so they have no use for them. They just want to attack the city that Li Cong is defending. It thinks that Li Cong will definitely take the northern battlefield. These things are better than none. Who knows that after pulling them, there will be nothing in today's first wave of bombing. These things are really rubbish. His Majesty took a hard look at the ministers below.
The ministers of the Imperial Ministry of War are also very wrong. Their brains are already very clever. It is a pity that they and Li Cong are people from two worlds, and the weapons in their hands are also things on two planets. Technology on this planet. How many years behind the earth do not know, how can they think of something that has spanned thousands of years? It takes a long time, and the transition from cold weapons to hot weapons on the earth is also It took a very long time, and when Li arrived, these things were actually produced behind the thermal weapons. They were not the things that happened in the budding state at all. If they were the things produced in the budding state, the geniuses of the Eastern Empire might There will also be ways to deal with it, which directly crosses over to the second half. They don't even know how to deal with these things? So failure is inevitable.
At this moment, the general of the forward camp has already lost his life. Originally, His Majesty expressed his kindness to let this guy live another day, but his life may have ended today. This guy has not survived these five hours. , In the first two hours, a shell exploded around this guy, and the shrapnel directly penetrated this guy. Although he has the strength of a sixth-level fighter, under the attack of such a hot weapon, his body She was killed directly. At that time, she really didn’t know what was going on with her own eyes, but his life was so lost. His Majesty saw it with his own eyes. All of this, His Majesty knew his weapon and The gap between the enemies, he used to think about winning by relying on the advantage of numbers, but now this idea has begun to shake in his mind even if there are too many people.
Being able to quickly understand this situation shows that His Majesty the Emperor himself is not a fool. But these ministers under him are not reconciled. They don't want to go back so desperately. If they go back so desperately, wouldn't they have no credit for coming out this time? Lost their luxurious life in the capital and followed His Majesty to the front line. What did they do for them? Not just to allow themselves to be promoted to the ranks. Now there is no result at all. After the Emperor returns, he will certainly not award everyone a reward. , They have to get a little result from this war, even a little result does not matter. Their mouths are very good at talking. Fingers are all very good at writing, and they will exaggerate this little victory to a surprising level. At that time, it was only natural to get a reward.
Seeing the following is still persuading oneself to continue fighting, His Majesty certainly knows. What do they mean in their heads? In fact, if His Majesty the Emperor is wise at this time. I will definitely not listen to them. It would definitely bring the war to a halt now. He would never continue such a cramming war again. Only five hours have passed from morning to now, but they have already lost up to two million troops. Look at those people in the city? It is estimated that the loss point is less than tens of thousands. The probability of 20:1 is very low. This is very different for any country, although two million troops are just a fraction of the Eastern Empire. If you want to form it, you can form it in minutes, but the problem is that two million people have been lost in the war, but no lesson has been learned. Is it necessary to carry out the second two million, or even the third two hundred Million? That way, no matter how much the army is, I can't afford to lose.
His Majesty the Emperor didn't want to do such a fearless move, but was this guy unwilling to let himself retreat like this? What will the people say when I return to the capital? What will the gold nobles say? They would all say that they were incompetent as the emperor. His Majesty waved his hand and let everyone under him go out. Although she has been emperor for many years, the interior of the Eastern Empire is not monolithic. The betrayal of the fox family is an example. Many people in the royal family are not aligned with themselves. Back then, he was able to ascend to the throne. It can be said that he experienced a very fierce fight. Which one of his brothers and his cousins ​​have? It’s a fuel-efficient lamp. Ever since they were young, they have been staring at that seat, the seat of the emperor. Who has really thought about the empire? If they have encountered such a failure, they will think they have a chance. Here, instead of helping myself figure out a solution to this matter.
Don't say that I can't just go back to the capital like this. When I first came out, I would only praise Haikou, and I would definitely put the Linghu family down. If I go back like this now, it will represent another Hu family. They have already taken them to a firm foothold in their original place. The Eastern Empire will split into two empires. The Linghu family will definitely establish their country on their own land. It is estimated that they have already thought about the name, and they absolutely cannot Let this happen. From the history of the Eastern Empire to the present, no territories have been lost. A large amount of territories will be added every year. Although these territories are on islands, the land area and population are in any case. It is constantly increasing. If the Linghu family cut off these 100 provinces directly, then he would have been lost in history. How would he say himself in the history books, would say he was in the history of the Eastern Empire. The most failed emperor.
It is absolutely not easy for you to ascend to this throne, and you will never let your name become a failed emperor. His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire stood up, walked out of his tent, and looked at the wall in the distance. He took out With his saber and riding on his horse, is he going to rush on it himself? The surrounding ministers hurried over. They all knew that this war was impossible to win. If the emperor really rushed forward, he might have lost his life. The quartermaster has just reported that their food In yesterday’s fire, 40% was lost, and it can be sustained for a month. Although a large amount of food has been transported, there is no way to make up for the lost food. So, it is not yet. When the emperor rushed up by himself, the angry emperor was dragged down by these people.
This is absolutely impossible. How can your body of ten thousand gold go on the battlefield in person? Our Eastern Empire has so many marshals. So many generals, so many soldiers, if you let you go to the battlefield yourself, their heads will be chopped off. Even if you don’t think about it for yourself, you have to do it for so many generals in our Eastern Empire. Think about it, this is their shame and they will never allow you to do that. Just after this old official said these words, the surrounding people all knelt down with a slap, and just told this old gentleman. same. This is their shame. They can’t beat the emperor who came from this city. His Majesty himself will be on the battlefield. For them, what shame is greater than this. They will definitely look at their own heads, one by one, the emperor. His Majesty stopped them with his eyes. It's not yet that time when they are dead, who will they rely on to fight.
"All of you civil servants get out. You don't know about the war at all. Don't think I don't know why you are so stubbornly following me? You come here just thinking that you will be promoted. Now I I can tell you, even if this war is won, you can’t have anything to add to the ranks after you return to the capital? Give me one by one to be honest. If this war really fails, I think You will be buried together. You will have to be in the capital on the battlefield. It is of no use at all. This war has been carried out to the present level. You are still thinking about the intrigue struggle. Internal consumption is the biggest consumption. The battlefield can no longer withstand such consumption. When I am in the capital, I can turn a blind eye to your affairs, but if you continue now, don't blame me for being rude to you.
His Majesty the Emperor himself is not a fool. He understands these things very well. These ministers thought that His Majesty the Emperor could not see these things clearly, and thought that they were all very clever. His Majesty the Emperor didn’t understand. They thought that His Majesty was still in the dark. In fact, the most intelligent person in the world might be the Emperor on the stage. What he saw in the hearts of ministers was very accurate. Otherwise, how could he be a leader, but His Majesty also understands that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. He can't say everything. It's as if he has said things like this, and his heart is happy, but The consequences left behind are not what he can bear now. These civil officials must have other plans in their hearts. They may have something that is not conducive to the development of the emperor, which is not needed by the emperor now.
For the current generals and generals, they all have their own ideas. They also want to knock down the city and smile to fulfill the emperor’s wishes, but they have done their best. You can let your soldiers I was desperate, and even went up, but now the results are not as good as they wanted, not as much as the emperor cared about. The city still stands here, and the soldiers on the walls have become more and more brave. That Li Cong is really not. Knowing where they got so many of these things, they now see that the sky outside has already begun to turn into the second half of the day. If there is no result during the day, there must be no result at night? If Li Cong did the things of last night, their food, and their soldiers thought of this again, these sisters would feel a headache, how should they accomplish these things!
In any case, we can’t retreat. Our heads will be taken off by ourselves when we follow you back to the capital. We will definitely take the city in the shortest time. If we fail, we will have no face. We will follow you back to the capital. Our heads will be taken down by ourselves. As a rookie general in the forward camp, this guy can still bring a little sense of security to His Majesty the Emperor. Now His Majesty is already the Six Gods and No Master. He needs such a person to speak. It is necessary for such a general to stand up and take responsibility. The communicative aspects of the Eastern Empire are quite good. Just after this guy has finished speaking, other generals have also expressed their views, and they will definitely find a way to solve the matter in front of them. This is for the emperor of the Eastern Empire. It's just like giving charcoal in the snow, and immediately these two guys have the title and become earl. Those civil servants are all black-faced like what, these generals are going to die, and you are just talking about it.
Compared with the dizziness and dire situation of the Eastern Empire, Li Cong is much better. Li Cong originally thought that today’s war would be very difficult to fight, but he did not expect that the Eastern Empire did not make any new tricks. The shells made with that Philosopher's Stone only killed less than 50,000 people, although it seemed that the number was not small. But compared with the huge casualties on the Eastern Empire, they can’t even catch up with a fraction of the others. Originally, all generals today said that casualties must be more than 500,000. If it is lower than this number, it’s not. A war was almost the same as an exercise. Li Cong believed it at the time. Who knows that five hours have passed, and only tens of thousands of casualties have been lost on his own side. This is a number that many people did not expect.
Since the beginning of the war, Li Cong has taken out about three million grenades. This number is already very large. On this planet. The northern battlefield did not consume so many ammunition for such a long time, but only a day or two here has consumed so many grenades. If the grenades are not consumed, it will consume life. It comes from the rear. news. Li Cong knew it. Young Master Linghu had already begun a large-scale retreat with their family members. Retreat completely according to the plan. If Li Cong can give him ten days, he will definitely give himself a stable and stable rear. Even if he retreats by himself, Young Master Linghu will have enough strength to resist the government of the Eastern Empire. Therefore, another batch of grenades must be taken out to support the war. The conversion method of grenades for time, Li Cong It feels very okay.
It used to be impossible for Li Cong to dedicate these grenades in vain, but now it’s not the same as before. The Linghu family has already given Li Cong a lot of resources in the southern waters. A map of the sea. Li Cong took down all the islands in the southern coastal area of ​​the Eastern Empire. With such a map, even if he took out 30 million grenades, it was a profitable business for Li Cong. , And even my own interests are hundreds to thousands of times. No matter what, I finally have my own foothold. Now even if I want to build an empire, I have my own territory, my own people, and my own everything. It used to be completely different, so with this Li Cong, he would definitely block the army of the Eastern Empire for more than ten days. This was an explanation for the Linghu family.
In the afternoon, unlike the morning, the Eastern Empire has no siege machinery. Now they have to rely on the old method to attack the city, that is, all cavalry quit the battle and all infantry rushed up. In order to resolve the war, the infantry took those ladders and climbed directly. This is also an ancient siege on this planet. If so many people attacked the city and continued to attack the city, the city would definitely It won’t last long, but for cities with serial crossbows, you can’t have one person going up for such a siege. Other people can’t even shoot arrows. There are only two soldiers on the ladder. Serial crossbow, there is no way you can get up there with the other end facing here, no matter how hard the other people are, there is no way.
Now that the war has been fought, Li Cong’s men still have a new way to deal with this kind of war. As long as you put the ladder up, they can go directly to the person who is doing the problem and lose one grenade, whether it is the soldier below. I didn’t believe it when it was still called a ladder, but the war has reached the present, and they can’t help but believe in the fact that Li Cong said. I believe Li Cong very much, and many people didn’t believe it at the beginning. , But the war has reached it. Now they can’t help but believe the fact that you said. The night is slowly falling, and another day has passed. The Eastern Empire has not gained anything except for the loss of nearly four million troops. On the contrary, Li Cong's confidence is now full.
Like the northern battlefield, Li bought a large amount of meat from his own pocket to reward the army. These soldiers are also ordinary soldiers. In the past, they only ate such meat once or twice a month in the army. What about other times? There will be meat-eating days. In the past, the army paid and the family members were also taken care of. Just like some soldiers on the city wall now, how could they have such a big bite of meat-eating days? At that time, the military academy had to take care of the family. After sending the money back, I could only eat a big pot of food in the army. If I want to go out and have a good time, I have to make a lot of determination. But now look at the meat they buy in their bowls. Li bought it from his own pocket. Basically all the pigs in the next two cities have been bought. Otherwise, how would these millions of people eat it? How can it be enough? For this, they are very grateful to President Li, who is very generous.
The soldiers sang while eating meat. This voice slowly spread to the army of the Eastern Empire, which was handed over to them by Li Cong. The Eastern Empire had already stopped its offensive, so it was about to conduct a propaganda war. This is definitely a new term. I don’t understand what this means. When they heard this word, there was nothing but a question mark in their minds. Li Cong didn’t bother to explain to them. He just made the soldier on the wall speak loudly and laugh loudly, loudly. Preach your happiness. Although a person's voice is very small. However, it was very difficult for the army camp on the opposite side to make such a sound with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The emperor of the Eastern Empire also heard such a sound at this moment, and his face was very ugly. It looks like it's almost cannibalistic.
In his opinion, this is Li Cong demonstrating for himself. Don't know what's in your mind? At this time, the emperor of the Eastern Empire certainly did not think that Li Cong was a person who could not fight. Is it necessary to reward his army like this? I really don't know what's in your mind, but I feel that even if you are a war genius, you don't have to show off like this. People need to be humble. Are you too arrogant like this? The emperor of the Eastern Empire thought this way, but the soldiers of the Eastern Empire did not think so. Most of the soldiers of the Eastern Empire were wondering why people can eat meat, but we eat these cold food? I can still eat food now. I heard that about 40% of the food has been lost. At that time, it was a luxury to have a full stomach. Many people know that after a few days, one’s food will become Two people, maybe they will become three people. Every day, my head is precarious, and now I can't even eat my stomach, and I'm so sad.
The furious emperor of the Eastern Empire even wanted to order his soldiers to eat meat, and immediately the officials of the Ministry of Households stepped up and reported to him. What happened today, today is just a cannonball. After going out with billions of taels of silver, plus the casualties and other things like pensions, they have slept well over 30 billion silver today. Although the Eastern Empire is rich and powerful, this little money is nothing to them? But in just one day, if you lose so much in one day, this war cannot be fought by the Eastern Empire. The emperor of the Eastern Empire finally knew that war was expensive. He also knew war before. The fight is money, but I never thought that this war would be such a waste of money. It only took tens of billions of taels of silver in a day. If you continue to fight, you may not be able to fill it if you sell yourself. For the first time I feel that money is really a good thing.
Today may be the day when His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire was worried about banknotes. Just less than half an hour after his war, a homing pigeon flew from a distance. The guards in this camp knew this kind of homing pigeon. This kind of thing is a fast animal directly used by the royal family to transmit messages. Although it is not a monster, its flying speed is quite different from that of a monster. It is very possible to use a monster to transmit messages, but this monster The cost is also very huge. The cost of this animal is relatively small, and it is easy for ordinary people to control. Warcraft is not controllable by ordinary people. From the perspective of Warcraft, ordinary people are the food in their mouths. Will listen to them, and only people like Li Cong can order Warcraft to do things, and they can order it so comfortably, who calls people the emperor of Warcraft.
The old next to him carefully took the carrier pigeon into the hands of His Majesty the Emperor. The guy who was kicked in the morning has been photographed because his broken ribs hurt his title page. He is now dying and may be lost tonight. Of their own fate, with such a lesson from the past, they of course have to be careful. No matter how the emperor’s mood is, they must correct their attitudes. In this case, the emperor should stay away from him and keep his body away from him. , His Majesty the Emperor himself is a ninth-level fighter. When he gets angry, he will not suppress his ability. It is very simple to kick a person with one kick. You should not go over and touch that brow. After putting down the carrier pigeon, this The retreated quickly, 50% faster than usual, but fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor did not observe him at this time. Otherwise, this guy would have his head off directly because of money problems, and there was no danger.
The content of the message is very simple, it is the behavior of Li Cong's warship in the southern waters. In the southern waters, His Majesty the Emperor has two more important strongholds. They are not the private property of the Emperor, but the property of the entire empire, the property of the entire court, especially the people of the royal family. They know very well that they are on those two islands. There are huge metal deposits, silver and gold produced in an astonishing amount, precious metals such as platinum, and some other metals, which are all very precious things. This place has always been the source of 10% of the entire royal family. The source of the money has now been captured by the warships of the Cao's House of Business, and the millions of defensive troops on the island have all surrendered. Such news made His Majesty the Emperor directly sit down. The paper in his hand also fell. Ministers quickly picked it up to see what was going on?
How is this possible? How could the people of Cao's house know their specific location? The southern waters can be said to be too big to be boundless. Even if their warship has sailed for a few years, it is impossible to know the location of these two islands. This must be false news. This is definitely not true, and we have heavy defenses on the islands. Except for those slaves, we have our own millions of troops. Although these troops are the standards of the local army, they lie there even if they are a group of pigs. It’s impossible for the people of the firm to occupy it so quickly. The news must be false. Your Majesty, don’t be sad. A prince stepped up and said that he had been to that island. The Cao’s firm seems to be in such a short time. It is absolutely impossible to get there within the time limit, and it is absolutely impossible to conquer it. This is simply a dream, so he concluded that the news was false and was sent by the spies of Cao's family business. There was no need to believe it.
Your Majesty glanced at his uncle with some pity. He must be stupid. Although there are many such pigeons on the whole continent, he can tell at a glance that this pigeon is raised by the royal family. No matter how powerful the intelligence agency of Cao’s house is, it’s impossible to learn these secret words. They are all spoken in secret words, not in plain words. It is estimated that the old Uncle Huang in this room thinks so. Various aspects have shown that the above-mentioned news is true. The royal family has now lost an important base of fiscal revenue. They must re-examine this war. There are still many places to spend money next year. Should the war continue? What?
This is also a back hand arranged by Li Cong, saying that he knows very well that it is not easy for Li Cong to do this and help me with the court. It must be beaten until they hurt. The Linghu family provides that. The map is to let Li never do this. If Linghu's family has its own skills and own fleet, this job will never be cheap for Li Cong. Now Li Cong can tell everyone They are the richest people on the entire continent. The money Li Tong earned was comparable to the wealth on these two islands. Li Cong’s wealth instantly more than doubled. It came from robbery, not by slowly accumulating. How could this not be a kind of rapid advance!
Of course, Li Cong is very happy at this moment, but for the emperor of the Eastern Empire, there is nothing to be happy about. The emperor of the Eastern Empire is now suffering to die. The sword and money war is like this. , He felt very depressed, but after receiving the news, he thought that even if the war failed, there was nothing left? Compared with the news, the failed war can continue to make a comeback, but can the lost things be retaken? If he was on land, he would definitely have to bring his own things back, but now he is in the sea, head-to-head with Cao's warship? It’s impossible even to meet them. You know how capable your own navy is. If you want to fight against Cao’s navy, you still have to wait hundreds of years. It is estimated that within the year, people do not know what level they have progressed to.
Your Majesty, even if the news on this piece of paper is true, we can’t change much now. We can only block the news now, and then face our army and strengthen the siege tonight. I don’t believe them. The people here are all iron men. Although we are dying, their people are too tired. When they are tired, we can definitely go up. I don’t believe that they will not be tired. A general looks at the opposite. The city wall said that the generals considered things very simple. They had no other things in their eyes, only the war before them. Although his words were a bit rude, if the Emperor had never used soldiers like this in the past. It was a victory in exchange for life. Such a victory is too tragic. Even if it is recorded in history books, it will never be described well, but now he also needs such a victory. The entire empire needs such a victory. Victory.
Yes, we are now worried that other things have no effect. Now that you have listened well, go back and reorganize your own army. Tonight I will siege the city overnight. We can’t let the enemy have a little time to rest. We have too many people. Yes~EbookFREE.me~ Tonight, give me 20 million troops to attack the front gate. If I can be the first to climb the wall to reward 302,000 silver, I will seal Wanhuhou. If I can open the gate of the wall, seal it. The Duke, rewarded 5002000 silver, and under the reward, there must be a brave man. The Emperor of the Eastern Empire also understood this truth very well. He immediately drove out the rewards. Many people in this room were directly dumbfounded. Although they were A high-ranking official, but he hadn't had his own title for a lifetime, and his majesty couldn't get up to such two titles casually. If he had the ability, he would definitely follow him.
It’s a pity that all of them are civil servants, and they can’t do this. They will send dead goods one by one. They can only think about who can get the honor at night, but they are all in their hearts. It's very sour, one by one cursing that person not to come. His Majesty has issued such a big Haikou. There will definitely be many people who want this reward. If you lose your life on the battlefield, it can only be said that you have no ability. But if you can let your children and grandchildren follow you to enjoy the blessing, that is also a very good thing. Now these people can be said to be clean and clean. With such a reward, why don't you work hard? Should we let this opportunity be lost? Li Cong on the wall also felt this. I really think they are different from just now. These guys have become a little bit... (to be continued...)
