Chapter 45 Dragon Guard

Counterattack!

Wei Guang suffered a crushing defeat, almost emptying the armies of Changzhou and Liangzhou.

If the Dayu Dynasty wanted to counterattack, it would have to mobilize troops from the surrounding areas and, if necessary, also draw on border guards.

And this takes time!
It takes quite a long time, at least about a month to prepare.

no way.

The Dayu Dynasty has become quite bloated by now.

Bloated!

It means low efficiency!
As long as Ye Jiuxing is not stupid, he will make good use of this time to expand his territory and get more summoning opportunities.

Occupy a county and obtain a second-rate Chinese talent!

Occupy a state and gain first-class Chinese talents!
This is a huge temptation.

Even a second-rate talent, when he is born, has the ninth level of cultivation in the Return to Oneness Realm and can quickly break through the Yin-Yang Realm.

Ye Jiuxing's side will only become stronger as the fight goes on!

Of course, the decision cannot be wrong.

An incompetent general can bring death to the entire army!

If a decision-maker issues a wrong order, it may lead to the strong men under his command dying in battle.

Everyone looked at the star map and fell into deep thought.

Ye Jiuxing said in a deep voice: "At present, we have three directions of development! First, attack Liangzhou! Second, attack Changzhou! Third, divide the troops into two groups and attack Liangzhou and Changzhou at the same time, and occupy the three states!"

how to spell?
Wu Yong waved his feather fan and said, "Your Majesty, our army is too small, it is not appropriate to fight on two fronts!"

Their foundation is too weak!

Bai Qi and Cao Chun can barely be considered saint-level warriors.

Sending out troops at the same time means they have to separate. If the imperial court reacts quickly, it would be quite dangerous to surround and attack one person.

How powerful is the saintly ancestor of the Dayu royal family?

Nobody knows!

Besides, does Dayu really have no backup plan?

These forces may be hiding their abilities on weekdays!
Be careful.

Ye Jiuxing nodded, then looked at everyone and asked, "What about you?"

"Attack Liangzhou!"

Bai Qi and Cao Chun said in unison.

"reason!"

"Lord!"

Cao Chun said, "We may cooperate with the Great Yan Dynasty, and Great Yan borders Changzhou. If we occupy Changzhou, how can the Great Yan Dynasty participate in the war?"

"Dayan has bad intentions, but as long as they send troops, the Dayu court will feel pressured!"

“Besides, east of Liangzhou, close to Luojing!”

Luojing!

One of the two capitals of Dayu!

Wu Yong took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Occupying Luojing will weaken the power of Dayu's luck. After that, if Dayu wants to mobilize the luck to fight, the pressure we face will be much smaller!"

Ye Jiuxing's eyes flickered. He had ignored luck before.

The power of luck is a very powerful way to defend against the enemy.

The king can bless your luck!
What about the ancestor of the Dayu royal family?
Can he add the power of luck?
If it could be blessed, to what extent would the strength of the royal ancestor be enhanced?
[Ding! Activate the side quest and occupy Luojing, one of the two capitals of Dayu. You will gain thirty years of cultivation and a chance to summon a peerless hero of China! ]

Just when Ye Jiuxing secretly made up his mind and prepared to attack Luojing.

And this moment.

The system prompt sounds.

The richness of the reward made Ye Jiuxing breathe rapidly and his heart was beating fast.

Thirty years of cultivation!
A peerless figure!

The former was fine, but the latter made Ye Jiuxing a little out of control.

Under his command, there is only one peerless figure, and that is Bai Qi!
Further down, the top figures include Cao Chun and Lu Bing, both of whom are high-level warriors in the Yin-Yang realm and can fight above their level.

But in terms of strength, there is still a qualitative gap.

Even if Cao Chun and Lu Bing joined forces, they were no match for Bai Qi. If they could summon a peerless Chinese talent, whether in literature or martial arts, they would be able to launch a full-scale counterattack.

"Send the order!"

Thinking of this, Ye Jiuxing no longer hesitated and ordered majestically: "Bai Qi will be the vanguard and lead the Qin elite to attack Liangzhou! Cao Chun, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng and others will lead the army to attack all counties in Liangzhou!"

"This battle requires us to conquer all the counties before besieging Hengcheng."

"at last!"

Ye Jiuxing shouted: "Occupy Luojing and end the first phase of military operations!"

"As ordered!"

After hearing this, everyone had no objection and bowed in unison.

The day.

Bai Qi led the Qin elite soldiers, entered and exited the mountain pass, headed south, and attacked Liangzhou.

Wei Guang was defeated, and Cao Chun attacked the grain camp and destroyed an army of 50,000. By then, the people in Liangzhou were already in turmoil and there were no soldiers left to fight.

After learning that Ye Jiuxing had attacked, he was even more frightened.

Inside Hengcheng.

Officials from various counties gathered at the Governor's Mansion.

Luo Chao sat in the upper seat, looking at the intelligence in his hand, while below him stood officials of all ranks in Liangzhou, as well as some representatives from sects and clans.

"Governor, Ye Jiuxing has invaded, what should we do?"

"Yes! Will the court send reinforcements?"

"Governor, please write a letter and present it to the court, asking His Majesty to send troops to help as soon as possible."

Many officials stepped forward and made the proposal with a bow.

Luo Chao put down the intelligence and said in a deep voice: "I can tell you clearly that the court is organizing the third round of counterattack, and we have to hold out for twenty days before we will receive reinforcements!"

Twenty days!
Everyone's hearts sank.

Can they hold out for twenty days?

Even during the heyday of Liangzhou, when everyone was united, it would not have been able to last for twenty days under Ye Jiuxing!

At that moment, a county governor said bitterly: "Sir, it's not that we are trying to boost others' morale, but we can't do it!"

No one refuted.

Everyone accepts this reality.

Luo Chao did not deny it. He looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, we are officials appointed by the court. Now, the country is in crisis. We should work with the court to get through this difficult time!"

No one replied.

How to get through it?

Are you willing to pay with your life?
Many people have shown resistance on their faces!

Luo Chao also realized this, but at this moment, he had no choice. Even if he had resentment, he had to suppress it.

"Send the order!"

"All troops in Liangzhou are assembled in Hengcheng!"

"I have decided to build a defense line along the Fei River outside Hengcheng City, relying on the natural barrier of Feijiang River, to keep the enemy out of Feijiang River!"

Having said this, Luo Chao stood up and asked in a deep voice: "Everyone, do you have any opinions?"

Below, a general said in a deep voice: "Sir, we have no chance of winning..."

boom!
A cold light flashed in Luo Chao's eyes, he raised his right hand and slapped it hard.

The next moment, the general who was speaking was beaten into a pulp, and blood splattered, dyeing the hall red.

Luo Chao looked around at everyone, "Are there any opponents?"

No one said a word.

"Where are the Dragon Guards?"

Luo Chao's eyes narrowed and he gave the order in a deep voice.

boom!
Ripples in the void.

Ten figures walked out, all of them wearing black robes, masks on their faces, swords on their waists, exuding a cold aura.

That's murderous intent!
Without killing thousands or tens of thousands of people, this murderous aura cannot be generated!
"From now on, the Dragon Guards will patrol Liangzhou. Anyone who breaks the law will be killed without mercy!"

Luo Chao's face was as cold as frost, and he said in a cold voice: "Everyone, we are colleagues, and I would like to remind you that the court has only suffered a temporary setback, not a complete defeat! And you, don't forget your roots, or you will end up with the extermination of your entire clan!"
