20demayo Chapter 303
Chapter 303
In a spacious hall in Qiyun State, the King of Qiyun, his civil and military subordinates, and the small kings of several nearby countries sat.
This place is known as a country, even the largest country in the alliance of countries, but it is only equivalent to the three cities in the land of Xia State, which shows how shabby it is.
It's just that these years, they are used to being local emperors, and they are used to sitting in the well and watching the world.
"King, several generals of the Zhenbei Army have arrived in Lucheng. I'm afraid they are coming to target us."
"According to intelligence, not only the Lucheng defenders are actively preparing for war, but also troops from all over Zongzhou are moving towards Lucheng. Their target should be us."
This is not difficult to judge. If Lucheng wants to mobilize troops, it can only be them. In other directions, Lucheng's troops are not needed at all.
This also indirectly reflects that if Li Mu and others want to achieve success, they must take down the alliance of countries.
"Brother Qiyun, what should we do?"
"Yes, with our strength, even if we can stop Lucheng, we can't stop the northern border, not to mention that the northern border of Xia Kingdom is about to completely occupy Xia Kingdom."
"Once Xia Kingdom is serious, we are definitely not opponents, Brother Qiyun, you have to make a decision."
The leaders of the small countries are at a loss at this moment. Fighting, just kidding, they will definitely not win. If it was the previous Xia Kingdom, they would dare to unite and try.
But now the strength of the northern border of Xia Kingdom is clear to them. They defeated Liang Kingdom and Jin Kingdom on their own and snatched the South Courtyard from Liang Kingdom, which is equivalent to the territory of three or four alliances of various countries.
The Zhenbei Army only mobilized a part of the army, and other armies were not idle. Even the quelling of the internal war in Xia Kingdom was not affected at all.
Now they can have confidence in fighting such a strong army.
"The Zhenbei Army is coming aggressively. Our plan to use the Jin and Liang countries to resist the northern border has failed. Now we can only rely on ourselves."
"Go back and mobilize the army as soon as possible. We must concentrate all our strength to survive this disaster."
"For the benefit of all of us, please put aside your prejudices, unite, and jointly resist the invasion of the Zhenbei Army."
"For the final victory, I will take the responsibility and recommend myself to be the commander-in-chief of this battle. Please cooperate with me. If anyone drags your feet, don't blame me for being cruel."
Qi Yun was not trying to seize power at this time, but was indeed considering this battle. He was not strong enough, and if he was not united, there would be no need to fight.
However, Qi Yun believed that he had no selfish motives, so how could others believe him?
Once the war started, the mobilization of the army, who would be at the forefront, and who would defend the key positions would all cost a heavy price. These people believed that the army of Qiyun would never appear in the most dangerous battlefield at the first time.
In this way, they would be cannon fodder. Besides, it seemed meaningless to continue this battle. Even if they could stop the attacking Zhenbei Army, they would have reinforcements coming from behind. As for them, they would just wait for death after using up their troops.
But at this moment, the situation was stronger than the people, so they dared not object and could only agree. They even dared not say anything against it. Qi Yun seemed easy to talk to, but he was actually cruel.
For their own safety, everyone agreed to cooperate, and Qi Yun was still very satisfied.
"Report..."
"Report to the Lord, 500,000 troops from Lucheng left the city and came towards our alliance of countries."
Just then, the news of Lucheng's dispatch of troops came.
"The Zhenbei Army has really taken action. They didn't give us any preparation."
"Everyone, go back and prepare immediately. The army must set out within one day. We will fight to the death with the Zhenbei Army in Xingyuan City."
"Pass on my order. All countries in the Alliance of Nations will take action immediately. They share the same hatred and jointly resist the invasion of the northern border. Whoever dares to neglect it will be destroyed by me after this battle."
Time waits for no one. Qi Yun didn't waste any words and immediately began to issue orders.
In addition to the several kings present in the Alliance of Nations, there are several people who are not there. Qi Yun will certainly not forget them. Whether they live or die, everyone must face it together.
Others also know how powerful it is. After saying hello, they hurried away.
The kings who left Qiyun State had different thoughts. They were not optimistic about this battle. If they fought hard, it would undoubtedly be like an egg hitting a stone.
One of them even secretly sent people to the Zhenbei Army before returning to his old nest. Obviously, he had other plans.
As for the others, they also hurriedly gathered their subordinates to discuss how to face the crisis after they got home.
After discussion, almost everyone believed that there was no possibility of victory in this battle. Rather than dying in vain, it was better to surrender.
For Xia State, they were just city lord-level figures. There were thousands of such people in Xia State.The North doesn't care about them at all.
Being small has its own advantages, and it is very likely to save one's life.
Qi Yun didn't know that everyone was scared and didn't want to fight at all, and was still actively mobilizing the army to Xingyuan City.
A few days later, Qi Yun personally led 200,000 troops to Xingyuan City, but he didn't expect a funny and unexpected scene.
"What, the armies of various countries haven't arrived yet, why are these people so slow?"
Except for the army of Qiyun, the armies of other countries are still dawdling on the road.
"Lord, the situation is so critical, and they are still dragging their feet. I'm afraid they have other ideas. We have to be on guard."
"If all countries are scared and even want to surrender to the North, we will be in dire straits with all our national forces here. Please prepare in advance and don't fall into a place of no return."
This abnormal situation appeared, and everyone under Qi Yun had a premonition that something might happen.
Judging from one's own experience, although those people are called the leaders of the country, their strength is too small. They may not dare to gamble everything. It is normal for them to surrender to save themselves.
Few people can face death calmly when they know they will die.
Even the people under Qi Yun's command do not want to die, but they dare not act because of Qi Yun's suppression.
"A bunch of bastards and trash, the North will never let us go. If we don't unite at this time, we will surely die."
"Come on, inform the leaders of various countries, explain the benefits and disadvantages, and urge them to act as soon as possible."
Qi Yun still has hope.
As long as the alliances of various countries are completely united, not to mention destroying the invading enemies, at least they can hold on and wait for the opportunity.
"Where has the Zhenbei Army arrived?"
Qi Yun asked.
"Lord, the Zhenbei Army has divided its troops into three routes to invade the alliance. Now two infantry units are coming towards us and are expected to arrive tonight."
Qi Yun's desire for a decisive battle was in line with Li Mu's wishes. It was just right to resolve it as soon as possible. On the way, he happened to meet several people sent by the Lord, so Li Mu changed his action plan randomly.
Xingyuan City will be the first battle to regain the alliance of various countries, and it may also be the last battle. The degree of success of the matter exceeded Li Mu's expectations.
This is the strength of the northern border now, which makes the enemy surrender.
