I'm The Emperor of All-Heavens

Chapter 881

Flags fluttering from side to side led the whole army to advance. The long knives came out of their scabbard, and the blades shone with dazzling sunshine, indicating the direction of the soldiers' impact.

Looking down from a high altitude, the 80000 troops in Xiqi attacked, and a huge infantry array was like a huge square, pushing out with great force to crush and crush the enemy until it was completely destroyed.

The whole army attacked.

The two sides fight first and then the pioneers of each faction. They are all temptations in order to know themselves and the enemy and be invincible in a hundred battles.

But the successive defeats in the war forced Ji Chang to show his determination to spare no effort.

Because Xiqi's biggest dependence at the moment is his determination to return to death and unstoppable morale. He must not retreat!

Morale is indeed a wonderful factor in war. According to strict calculation, it is not as important as the strength of the military array or the play of the generals. However, in actual battles, morale can create miracles.

An army with great momentum can make an army whose comprehensive strength is completely above it flee, and an army with declining morale may also be defeated by an army far weaker than it.

Now Xiqi is the former.

Obviously, in the battlefield ahead, the fellow soldiers were killed and injured seriously, but the eyes of most soldiers lit up a flame, which was a kind of terror of burning everything.

As a result, the overwhelming momentum of the three armed forces is like a heavy hammer. Even if it faces an indestructible iron wall, it should be smashed again and again.

At the same time, the cavalry circuitously avoided Jiacheng from both sides and went around the rear wing of the Soviet protection army.

Su Hu's eyes sank and the secret road was bad.

He was not afraid, but there were several princes and nobles on the left and right sides, but they suddenly changed color and came forward to advise: "general, Xiqi, this is going to hurt both sides. It's not worth it!"

Is it worth losing both?

Of course it's worth it!

Xiqi is only one place, where the upper limit of strength is placed, but Su Hu has the support of the imperial dynasty, and there are money and food supplies from major slave owners and small princes. There is more than one thing beyond Xiqi.

Xiqi suffered the same loss, but big business was just a piece of cake.

But the key is, who is willing to lose?

Su Hu is only the nominal commander of this army. Its composition is very complex. 50000 King divisions are basically under the command of Zhang Guifang, and the remaining 100000 troops are composed of slave owners and little nobles.

They formed an alliance to make the four princes retreat and restore slavery in order to maintain their dominance.

But no one wants to sacrifice on a large scale.

After all, the team is gone. Even if there are slaves under them, they will rebel.

The idea of slave owners is right, but forming an army is undoubtedly a standard mob.

So at this moment, when Xiqi put on the posture of you and me dying together, they followed their heart and asked Su Hu to follow their heart together.

If Su Hu goes his own way, the avenger may be a direct civil war.

Su Hu sighed and spit out a word: "back!"

City a turns round again into the great wall and retreats slowly to avoid its edge.

Xiqi army made several impacts and destroyed several armored vehicles. After that, it did not advance an inch, and its pace was slow. It withdrew its troops.

Ji Chang played a beautiful psychological tactics, a coward game, and drove Su Hu's army back for several miles.

The first battle is over.

Su Hu's army killed nearly 3000 enemies and damaged hundreds. It could have been called a victory, but the use of a car as a killer mace exposed internal discord. In a strategic sense, it was a complete defeat.

On the other hand, when Xiqi's comprehensive strength was not as good as that of Su Hu's army, he pushed the front for several miles, with higher morale and internal stability restored. Even Shang doctor San Yisheng no longer mentioned the dissolution of the slave army.

……

……

Chaoge.

Longde hall in the early Dynasty.

Gu Cheng looked at the war report in his hand and suddenly threw it out.

With a slap, the bamboo slips hit the ground as if they had hit the hearts of all the ministers. The two civil and military classes were stunned and knelt down together: "Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Gu Cheng asked, "pardon? What are your sins?"

The ministers dared not answer.

"Su Hu, please, in wartime, I don't want to fight rashly. You keep saying that you will win. Now the two armies have been fighting for more than a month, and more than ten times, our army can't win. Instead, we retreat again and again, losing face!"

Gu Cheng looked down at the officials: "these days, I often think about the reform of the princes of the four towns. I say I have to follow one or two!"

"Your Majesty, never!"

As soon as this remark was made, the ministers reacted differently, the reformers were inspired, and the Conservatives cried like a dead family.

Gu Cheng waited until they were out of breath, and then said leisurely, "what do you say?"

As soon as the cry stopped, these ministers wanted to propose that they should send Grand Master Wen and Huang Feihu to sweep Xiqi completely with the momentum of thunder, or send 200000 troops to crush it with absolute advantage.

However, they only dare to think about these words and dare not actually put them forward, because they are unreasonable.

Wen Zhong and Huang Feihu are the pillars of civil and military affairs. Once they go out, they will kill each other and have no room for turning around.

What's more, the dog army has not been destroyed, and the ghost side that has been subdued in the North seems to have twists and turns. Although the big business is booming, who will bear the responsibility if all the troops are dispatched to the princes of the four towns guarding the four directions, resulting in the invasion of foreign enemies?

It is absolutely impossible not to answer. Their eyes immediately looked at the two backs in front.

The leader of the Conservatives is no one else, but the prime minister Shang Rong.

Shang Rong represented the interests of the official class, and Bigan represented the provisions of the Yin Shang ancestral system. Both of them firmly safeguarded the ruling class.

At this moment, Shang Rong had to say, "Your Majesty cultivates his morality, loves his people, cherishes his financial expenses, and pays attention to his decrees. Although Yao and Shun are just like this, why do you persist in the success or failure of the moment? Although Su Hu is temporarily frustrated, he will surely win the final victory. Please wait for good news!"

Gu Cheng's face sank: "I don't want to listen to such nonsense. The army fought in Jinjiling. How much money was consumed every day. Do you want to wait for Su Hu's victory, the National Treasury will be empty and the country's foundation will be shaken, and you can't regret it?"

This is very important. Shang Rong can only take out the final response preparation: "Your Majesty once said that justice has more help than injustice. Now all the good people in the four directions have the intention of offering their own pay, so that the king can no longer worry about it. I hope your Majesty's approval!"

The conservatives were heartened by the speech.

The good people in Shang Rong's mouth, in fact, everyone tacitly knows that they are slave owners.

But what they didn't expect was that the slave owners made such a great determination to work together to supply the army's pay and food!

In fact, before the army set out, the slave owners and princes had already contributed. They provided 100000 of the 150000 troops and horses. Now they simply contracted directly.

Up to now, the dead and wounded are all under the command of slave owners, and the supply of food and grass is on the top of slave owners. It can be called one-stop service to have soldiers and food!

What is this spirit?

This is the spirit of running water with dry food!

Seeing that the other party achieved this level, the reformers who originally wanted to stand out closed their mouths one after another, and Gu Cheng nodded: "if so, I'll wait and see!"

Conservative ministers rejoiced: "Your Majesty is holy!"
