His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire looked at the situation in front of him, and his face twitched hard. In the past, he always believed that his army was invincible, and that his strength was also invincible. The other three

The Great Empire is not my opponent at all. If I want to, I will definitely be able to destroy them. I didn't expect that even a mere Cao's Trading Company can't handle it by itself. They have already made them disgraced. Such a thing has been done before.

He didn't dare to imagine it when he was young, but now it is a fact. Many people's views on him have changed. Even her own views on herself have changed. He feels that he may be a guy who has accomplished nothing and may do these things.

Things would not be successful. Now another five hours had passed on the battlefield. During these five hours, his own elite troops were overwhelmed by the enemy's artillery shells and could not find their way north.

For five hours, the armies of the Middle Eastern Empire continued to use their weapons to fire cannonballs made of magic stones at the city wall. However, the ability of these cannonballs to hit the city wall could be seen with the naked eye, and there was not much damage at all.

It has been exactly five hours, and the enemy's city wall is still solid, as if it is not much different from its original appearance. Looking at their own side, it seems that it is completely different from five hours ago. The enemy

As long as those kind of artillery shells are fired, the people around will definitely suffer. Look at their weapons and siege equipment. Now they have all turned into a pile of waste, and they are of no use at all. His Majesty the Emperor looked at

The man on the city wall turned his hands vigorously. If he could rush over and kill this man, His Majesty the Emperor would definitely take action. He knew that he could not rush out like this, and the other party was not a soft persimmon.

In the eyes of some people, a ninth-level warrior is already a very powerful figure, but on this battlefield, especially when the person opposite is Li Cong, a ninth-level warrior is nothing at all, and the opponent's strength has already reached

He has reached the ninth level, and according to the intelligence, the opponent has reached the peak of his strength as a ninth-level warrior. His Majesty the Emperor has not yet reached his peak. He can only be said to be an advanced ninth-level warrior. If he really goes out to fight alone

If he fights alone, it will definitely be His Majesty the Emperor who suffers the loss. He will never let himself fall into such a dangerous situation. He must find a complete certainty before taking action. He really wants to go over and kill this guy as soon as possible. But

His own heart does not allow him to do that. He always wants to defeat the opponent on the battlefield and get up from where he fell instead of relying on other methods to win so that nothing will happen to him.

.

According to the original battle plan, the Eastern Empire's army should have advanced to the bottom of the city wall. They have already torn apart the two defense lines composed of iron wires. Their cavalry should quickly arrive under the city wall, and the infantry should also be well-positioned.

It is only right to act together, but the actual situation now is, let alone the people under the city wall, it is not enough to get close. Now they are still more than 1,000 meters away from the city wall. This 1,000 meter distance is like a chasm. I think

It was impossible to get through. They were already tired. They had gone through countless times and spent a lot of money. All their siege equipment had been destroyed. His Majesty the Emperor looked at it in disbelief.

All this, this is a total of 500 siege vehicles, and now there is nothing left. What is the opponent's thing? Since one of them is born, it can destroy a siege vehicle worth 500,000 silver.

This is really surprising. His Majesty the Emperor did not recognize how powerful this kind of siege vehicle was before. In his opinion, it was created by those guys from the Imperial War Department to fool him, because he had killed it for him.

They were ordered to kill their heads if they couldn't make any progress in the northern battlefield, so these guys came out with this nondescript thing. After this thing came out, it didn't make any contributions to themselves, but it cost their own treasury.

It was all spent. These things came out just in time for the northern battlefield to end, so they had no place to use them. Just as they were about to attack the city Li Cong was defending, they thought that Li Cong would definitely use what he did on the northern battlefield.

It's better to bring these things over. Who would have thought that after pulling them out, there would be nothing left during today's first wave of bombings. These things are indeed rubbish. His Majesty the Emperor gave the ministers of the Ministry of War below a hard look.

The ministers of the Imperial Ministry of War were also very unjust. Their minds were already very smart. Unfortunately, they and Li Cong were from two different worlds. The weapons in their hands were also from two planets. The technology on this planet was

How many years behind the earth, how could they think of something that has spanned thousands of years in just a few days? This requires a long history, and the transition from cold weapons to hot weapons on the earth is also

A very long time, and Li Cong realized that these things were actually produced behind the thermal weapons, and the roots were not those things that occurred in the budding state before. If it were those things that were produced in the budding state before, these geniuses of the Eastern Empire might

There will also be ways to deal with it, which directly jumps to the second half. They don't know how to deal with these things at all? So failure is inevitable.

At this moment, the general of the forward battalion has already lost his life. His Majesty the Emperor is so merciful that he wants to let this guy live one more day, but his life may end today. This guy has not survived these five hours.

, in the second hour just started, a shell exploded around this guy, and the shrapnel directly penetrated this guy. Although he had the strength of a sixth-level warrior, under the attack of such a hot weapon, his body

He was killed directly. She really didn't know what was going on with her eyes at that time, but his life was lost like that. His Majesty the Emperor saw all this with his own eyes. His Majesty the Emperor clearly knew that his weapons were related to him.

Regarding the gap between the enemies, he used to think that he could win with the advantage of numbers, but now this idea has begun to waver in his mind, even with more 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 unwilling to give in. They don't want to go back in such a dejected manner. If they go back in such a dejected manner, wouldn't it be a little awkward for them to come out this time?

Is the credit gone? They abandoned their luxurious life in the capital and followed His Majesty the Emperor to this front line. What do they want? They just want to be promoted to a higher position. Now they have no results at all. His Majesty the Emperor will definitely do it after he returns.

We won't reward them. They have to get some results from this war. Even a small result doesn't matter. Their mouths are very good at talking. Their fingers are very good at writing. They can

If you exaggerate this small victory to a surprising level, it would be natural to receive a reward at that time.

Looking at the people below who are still persuading themselves to continue fighting, His Majesty the Emperor certainly knows. What is in their minds? In fact, if His Majesty the Emperor still has sense at this time, he will definitely not listen to them. He will definitely make the war now

Stop and he will never continue such a cramming war. 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? Estimated losses

There are less than tens of thousands of people, and the probability of :1 is very low. This is very different for any country. Although an army of two million is just a drop in the bucket for the Eastern Empire, if you want to form it, you can form it in minutes.

But the problem is, now that the war has lost two million people, but no lessons have been learned, should we carry out a second two million, or even a third two million? In that case, even if we have more troops, we will still lose.

Not worth it.

His Majesty the Emperor didn't want to do such a fearless move, but this guy was unwilling to do so, so he just let himself retreat like this? Then what will the people say when he returns to the capital? What will the gold nobles say? They

Everyone would say that as an emperor, she was incompetent. Her Majesty the Emperor waved her hand and asked everyone under her to leave. Although she had been the emperor for many years, the interior of the Eastern Empire was not monolithic. Linghu

The betrayal of the family is an example. Many people in the royal family are not of the same mind as me. When I was able to ascend to the throne, it can be said that I experienced a very fierce fight. Which of my brothers and cousins ​​was the best?

It's a fuel-saving lamp. From childhood to adulthood, they have always focused on that position, the emperor's position. Who has really thought about the empire? If they have suffered such a failure, they will recognize that their opportunity has come.

, instead of helping myself to find a way to solve this problem.

Don't tell me that I can't just go back to the capital in despair. When I came out, I would only praise Haikou and I would definitely put down the rebellion of the Linghu family. If I go back like this now, it will mean that I will destroy the Hu family.

They have already established a 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. I guess they have already thought of the name. They absolutely cannot

What makes this happen is that from the history of the Eastern Empire to the present, no territory has been lost. A large amount of territory is added every year. Although these territories are all on islands, the land area and population are still the same anyway.

The number is constantly increasing. If the Linghu family directly cuts off these one hundred provinces, then I will be greatly humiliated in history. What will the history books say about me? I will be said to be the most important person in the history of the Eastern Empire.

The most failed emperor.

It is absolutely not easy for you to ascend 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, looked at the city wall in the distance, and took out

He picked up his sword and mounted his war horse. Did he want to charge forward in person? The surrounding ministers hurried over. They all knew that this war was impossible to win. If His Majesty the Emperor really charged forward,

, and may lose their lives. The quartermaster has just come to report that 40% of their food was lost in yesterday's fire. It can still be sustained for a month. A large amount of food, although it was transported

Come over, but there is no way to make up for the loss of food. Therefore, it is not time for His Majesty the Emperor to rush forward himself. The angry Majesty the Emperor was pulled down by these people.

This is absolutely not allowed. How can a body of ten thousand gold go to the battlefield in person? We in the Eastern Empire have so many marshals, so many generals, and so many soldiers. If you are allowed to go to the battlefield in person, their heads will be destroyed.

They will all be chopped off. Even if you don’t think about it yourself, you have to ask so many generals in our Eastern Empire to think about it. This is their shame and they will never allow you to do that. After this veteran said

At these words, the generals around them all knelt down, just like what the old gentleman said. This is their shame. His Majesty the Emperor himself will go to the battlefield if they cannot conquer this city.

For them, there is no greater shame than this. They will definitely look at their heads and take action one by one. His Majesty the Emperor stopped them with his eyes. It is not yet time for them to die.

Who will fight the war?

"Get out of here, all you civil servants. You don't even know about the war. Don't think I don't know why you are following me so shamelessly? You are here just to get promoted to a higher position. Now I

I can tell you that even if this war is victorious, you will not be able to get any promotions after you return to the capital. Please be honest with me one by one. If this war really fails, I think

You will be buried with me. You people have to be in the capital when you arrive on the battlefield. It is of no use at all. This war has progressed to this point and you are still thinking about intrigues and intrigues. Internal consumption is the biggest consumption. This

The battlefield can no longer withstand such consumption. When I was in the capital, I could 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 sees these things very clearly. These ministers thought that His Majesty the Emperor could not see these things clearly, and thought that they were all very smart, so they devised some things to make things easier for them.

His Majesty the Emperor does not understand. They think that the Emperor is still in the dark. In fact, the smartest person in the world may be the Emperor on the stage. What he sees in the hearts of the ministers is very accurate.

Otherwise, how could he be a leader? But His Majesty the Emperor also understands that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. He cannot tell everything. It seems that now that he has spoken out, he feels happy, but

The consequences left behind are not something he can bear now. Each of these civil servants must have other plans in mind. They may have some developments that are not conducive to His Majesty the Emperor. This is because His Majesty the Emperor does not need it now.

For these current military generals, the generals all have their own ideas. They also want to capture this city and fulfill His Majesty the Emperor's wishes with a smile. But they have already tried their best. You just let your soldiers

After trying his best, he even went up himself, but the result now is not satisfactory, not as good as they want, not as His Majesty the Emperor cares about. The city is still standing here, and the soldiers on the wall are getting braver and braver. That Li Cong is really not

Do you know where they got so many of these things? Now they see that the weather outside has begun to turn into the second half of the day. If there are no results during the day, there will definitely be no results at night? What if Li Cong comes again?

Thinking about what happened last night, their food, and their soldiers, these god sisters all felt a headache, how to complete these things!

We can't retreat no matter what. We have no face to follow you back to the capital. Our heads will be removed by ourselves, and we will definitely take over the city in the shortest possible time. If not, we don't have the face to follow you back to the capital.

We will take off our heads by ourselves. The new general who is in the front camp, this guy's words can still bring a sense of security to His Majesty the Emperor. Now His Majesty the Emperor has no master, he needs such a person to speak, needs

For such a general to stand up and take responsibility, the Eastern Empire's social relations are quite good. After this guy said this, other generals also expressed their opinions one after another. They will definitely find a way to solve the matter at hand. This is very important to the Emperor of the Eastern Empire.

It was like providing help in times of need. These two guys immediately got titles and became earls. All the civil servants looked like they were black-faced. These generals are going to die, and you are just talking about it.

Compared with the dizzy and dismal situation in the Eastern Empire, Li Cong's side was much better. Li Cong originally thought that today's war would be very difficult to fight, but he didn't expect that the Eastern Empire didn't come up with any new tricks.

The cannonballs made with that kind of magic stone only caused less than 50,000 casualties. Although this number seems to be quite large. But compared with the huge casualties in the Eastern Empire, their side can't even keep up with others.

A fraction of the time, all the generals today said that casualties must be more than 500,000. If the number of casualties is lower than this, it will not be a war. It is almost like an exercise. Li Cong also believed it at the time. Who said this?

I know that five hours have passed, and there are only tens of thousands of casualties on my side. This is a number that many people have not expected.

From the beginning of the war to now, Li Cong has taken out about three million grenades. This number is already very large. On this planet, the northern battlefield has been fought for such a long time without consuming so much ammunition, but

So many grenades have been consumed in just one or two days here. If the grenades are not consumed, lives will be consumed. Li Cong knows the news from the rear. Young Master Linghu has already brought

The people in their family began to retreat on a large scale. The retreat was carried out completely according to the plan. If Li Cong could give him ten days, he would definitely give himself a stable and stable rear area. Even if he retreated by then,

This young master Linghu also has enough power to resist the government of the Eastern Empire, so he must come up with another batch of grenades to support this war. The conversion method of grenades for time, Li Cong feels is very acceptable.

In the past, it was impossible for Li Cong to donate these grenades in vain, but now it is different from before. The Linghu family has already handed over a large number of resources in the southern sea area to Li Cong. With that

With a map of the sea, Li Cong captured all the islands along the southern coast of the Eastern Empire. With such a map, even if he spent 30 million on grenades, it would be a sure-profit deal for Li Cong.

, and even my own interests are still hundreds or thousands of times greater. No matter what, I finally have my own place to stay. Now even if I want to build an empire, I still have my own territory, my own people, and my own everything. With

It was completely different before, so with this, Li Cong would definitely hold back the Eastern Empire's army for more than ten days. This could be regarded as an explanation to the Linghu family.

It has just reached the afternoon. The difference from the morning is that the Eastern Empire no longer has siege machinery. Now they want to attack the city and must rely on the older method. That is, all the cavalry withdraws from the battle and all the infantry rushes forward.

To resolve the war, the infantrymen climbed directly up with those ladders. This is also an older siege war on the planet. If there were so many people attacking the city in the past and continuing to attack the city, this city would definitely be destroyed.

You won't be able to hold on for long, but for a city with a serial crossbow, it's impossible for one person to go up in such an siege, and the others can't do anything even if they fire arrows. As long as there are two soldiers holding the serial crossbow at the top of the ladder,
To be continued...
