In the morning, in the capital of Japan, the queen of the palace summoned all the ministers to discuss matters. The sunlight passed through the door of the hall, sprinkled on the floor of the hall, and then reflected to the dome, illuminating the hall brightly.

However, the ministers and princes in the court, as well as the queen and the prince, had darkened their faces.

Not long ago, there was an urgent report saying that the official army that was attacking the Emirate (Mao people) was defeated. Two of the main forces of the three armies were wiped out, and one was nearly wiped out. Only a few thousand people in the entire army fled back one after another.

Not only that, the Xiayi Alliance then surrounded Songcheng, the official army's stronghold, and after defeating the reinforcements, it was said that it opened the door with the inner responder and quickly captured Songcheng.

This series of defeats lost 60,000 officials, plus the military families, people and slaves in the Songcheng area, the cumulative losses exceeded 200,000.

Most of the 60,000 official troops were elite, while the generals of all sizes were good at fighting against the nobles or the children of nobles. This defeat was so bad that the news came to the capital, and countless people cried.

The queen summoned important officials to the palace to discuss matters that night, and the prince (Prince Surito) was also present. The monarch and ministers discussed what the result was. It is unknown to outsiders that now, civil and military officials gathered in the main hall. It seems that the queen has made a major decision to announce it.

However, it was a military officer who explained the details of the war.

After several years of attack by the government army, the Essay tribe in the Eastern Kingdom region suffered heavy casualties. This time, the official army launched an attack to defeat the enemy in one battle and completely defeat the Essay coalition. Only then could the court divide it and use both soft and hard to subdue these Essays.

The official army attacked in three directions, for the left (west), middle and right (east). This arrangement is not to underestimate the enemy, but because the combat area is full of mountains and forests and the roads are rugged. If the army squeezes together, it will be very congested.

The three armies attacked in one go, and the distance between them was only one day. Once they encountered the enemy, well-equipped soldiers were enough to resist the enemy's siege and last until the arrival of friendly troops.

The generals leading the troops were all old generals, and the brave and combat-ready nobles brought elite personal soldiers to help. The Xiayi coalition, which could not even afford iron weapons, had no chance to win.

Everyone thought so, but an accident happened.

The middle army was the first to encounter the enemy. In the decisive battle, it was defeated by the violent black bear released by the opponent. When the defeated soldiers retreated, they encountered a hidden disaster and their entire army was wiped out.

After defeating the Central Army, the Xiayi Alliance quickly rushed to the east. The Right Army (East Army) was caught off guard and the entire army was wiped out.

The so-called annihilation of the entire army does not mean that all the people were dead or all the survivors were captured, and that people escaped in both defeats, but because the number of people was very small, the entire army was completely destroyed.

When the Left Army (Western Route Army) learned of the defeat, it was too late to retreat, so he looked for favorable terrain to set up a village to defend himself, and at the same time sent envoys to ask for help from the rear.

However, before the reinforcements arrived, the Xiayi coalition came. The other party relied on the large crowd to launch a night battle and sent a crazy dead soldier as a ghost to take the lead. After a night of fierce battle, the camp was broken, and only a few soldiers took advantage of the chaos to break through and escape.

However, the Xiayi coalition then invaded the south, and after breaking through several fortresses in succession, they besieged Songcheng, an important stronghold of the official army. The opponent was very cunning and surrounded but did not attack. They divided their troops to ambush the reinforcements where they had to pass, and then defeated the reinforcements who were eager to reinforce.

Songcheng, without reinforcements, has strong defenses and a large amount of food and supplies, and is not short of manpower, which can last for more than half a year.

However, the riots occurred in the city of Essay slaves, and the momentum was huge. Then, as the inner person, the city gate was opened and the Essay soldiers were led into the city, so Songcheng fell.

Hearing this, the civil and military officials all looked as if they were ashen. None of them expected that the coalition forces of various Aoi troops, which were like a plate of loose sand, would have such an outstanding performance.

Facing the three armies, they not only did not retreat, but instead took the initiative to attack. Regardless of the risk of being surrounded, they forced the attack on the middle army and succeeded, and then defeated the other two armies one by one.

Then he besieged the city and attacked the reinforcements, and then took down Songcheng.

In the past, the brave ones were brave, but the various Aoi tribes, who were like brainless and reckless, were able to unite and implement such exquisite tactics, and severely damage the official army one after another. This can no longer be explained by "internal thieves leaking military aircraft."

The soldiers of the government army were well-equipped, with at least 70% of them in armor and very strong in combat. Even if one of the troops leaked secrets due to internal thieves, the enemy set up an ambush on the road they must pass in advance, the other two armies should not be defeated so miserably.

The various tribes of the Eurasian tribes were not subordinate to each other and were temporarily gathered together, but they had such strong combat power, so there must be an amazing figure.

This man has prestige, can make the chiefs of various tribes obey and have the ability to organize scattered tribal coalition forces into a strong army, and execute the seemingly impossible tactics.

Of course, the officials in the capital could not know what the specific situation of the battle ahead was, but they could think of the consequences of this huge failure.

Now, the Queen summoned the ministers to discuss the matters to discuss how the court would deal with the crisis in the Eastern Kingdoms after this series of defeats.

Many people's eyes first swept over the expressionless minister Su Wo Mazi, then turned to the top and looked at Prince Surito (Prince), who was second only to the queen. The other party's face was dim at this time and looked like he was not resting well.

Over the years, Prince Shirato has devoted great efforts to the attack on the eastern country of Hokkien. The nobles and young nobles who he promoted had made many military achievements in the battle against the (Shrimp) Yi, and then was quickly promoted with his military achievements.

These young nobles who shine in the battle against the barbarians and the young nobles are members of the new generation of "king party".

At the same time, with the successive victory of the government troops, the court obtained vast land in the Eastern Kingdom and a large number of prisoners. These spoils brought great reputation to Prince Shirato and awe inside and outside the government.

In the future, after Prince Suito ascended the throne, he would inevitably receive more support from the nobles. At that time, Suwo, who had been in charge of the government for many years, would have to hand over power.

However, just when everyone thought that Prince Surato would definitely achieve greater achievements in the future, the great cause of the sacred sacrificial work that supported Prince Surato's grand ambitions collapsed.

This time's big defeat means that most of the rich achievements made by the imperial court in the expedition of the Eastern Kingdom of Hokkien over the years may not be able to defend, because the Allied Forces of the Hokkien would inevitably seize a large amount of armor, weapons, food, and combat effectiveness of the official army's equipment soared.

The official army with heavy casualties is very likely to be unable to defend the newly obtained land and to protect the newly built city.

At the same time, if the Yui Alliance, which is extremely fierce, continues to attack, it is still unknown whether the official troops in the East China region can block the offensive.

If we look at the worst, even the existing territory in the Dongguo region will be harassed by the Essay tribe, and the losses caused by this are unpredictable.

But these losses are not as good as Prince Ashito's losses: Prince Ashito has been promoted and trained over the years, most of the military talents that Prince Ashito has been unable to come back after this defeat.

The royal party, like a young eagle, died when it was about to spread its wings and fly high.

A sigh sounded in the hearts of many court officials. Su I, the one among the court officials, lowered his head slightly, looked at the floor in front of him expressionlessly, and tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart.

In this big defeat, the talents carefully promoted by Prince Shirato were seriously injured and killed, many of whom were the next generation of nobles from various families.

Most of them are the next generation who have disagreements with the Suwo family.

Now, Suwo’s opponents are seriously injured, and their descendants are suffering heavy casualties and cannot recover for many years.

Or, because there is no capable son who inherits the family business, he will go home and fall into the next generation.

At this moment, Su I, Ekima, wanted to look up and see the expressions of the Queen and Prince Surito at this moment, but she still held back and felt very proud:
Chapter completed!
