Chapter 374: The Upheaval of the Attack
"Report, according to observation, Qi State has become defeated!" A pilot who was part-time reconnaissance in Guangling County said to Shangguan Yong.
Shangguan Yong looked at Shangguan Guang: "Dad, we have a great opportunity to disperse together. Let's attack the whole army and capture more than 100,000 prisoners of him!
Moreover, the defense of Qi State's border is weak at this moment, which is a good opportunity. We follow Anyang and plunder the wealth of the two counties on Qi State's border! But only rob the official wealth, don't offend the people, there are many folk masters!"
Shangguan Guang made a quick decision: "Send an order, the entire army will attack. Catch a prisoner one tael of gold. Catch a centurion ten taels of gold! In addition, take the opportunity to attack the borders of Qi."
Victory and wealth are the best rewards for soldiers. The 600,000 troops in Guangling County burst out of the pass and charged forward all over the mountains. On the other hand, Qi State was defeated at this moment and began to flee.
But once the war enters this mode, the result is basically decided. The pursuit battle lasts until noon, and only about 50,000 elite troops in Qi escaped; the rest are either killed or captured. The borders of Qi were actually broken.
Just like the war between Anyang and Cai State, history has happened again at this moment. The difference is that there was only one county in Anyang, with less than 30,000 soldiers; but now a total of 600,000 troops of Guangling County rushed into Qi State. If Anyang could not take it away, Guangling County could take it away!
Rob!
There is only one word. The 600,000 army passed by like locusts, looting the official wealth of the two counties of Baqiu and Langhuan on the border of Qi. In the fairyland, it is best not to mess with the people if you have nothing to do, and you can mess with old monsters.
This looting lasted for more than a day. When Qi State reacted and sent more troops to counterattack, Shangguan Guang had already brought the army back.
The impact of this war is destined to shock the entire East of Yingzhou! The performance of arms in the war is becoming more and more prominent, and the war is getting closer to "standardized killing".
Just the next day, the war situation here was introduced to Anyang and published in newspapers; multiple newspapers were published, and millions of newspapers reported the actual situation of the war in detail.
Hou Xia, who seemed weak and bullied, actually defeated the powerful Qi State. Qi State had only about 50,000 elite soldiers, but he fled! In addition, Hou Xia even robbed two counties in the east of Qi State and took away countless wealth!
Moreover, in order to promote his victory, Houxia also took the initiative to disclose the wealth of the robbery - the total gold was more than 50 million taels, and all the wealth accumulated by the two counties in the east of Qi State was moved away; by the way, there were countless food and grass, iron ingots, silver ingots, copper coins, cloth, rare treasures, etc.
All the property lost by Qi this time exceeded 100 million taels of gold! Two wealthy counties in the east suddenly entered a state of extreme poverty.
Anyang Business Daily gave this evaluation: direct economic losses exceed 100 million taels of gold; indirect economic losses exceed 300 million taels of gold. It will take at least three years for the two counties in the east of Qi to get rid of the survival crisis and recover in ten years.
"Anyang made Houxia breathless; Houxia could easily loot Qi!" This is the information everyone saw! Anyang's mercenary group is still "save Nanyang County". Faced with these mercenary groups, Nanyang County is at a clear disadvantage. But this is Houxia, who swallowed 250,000 elite troops in Qi, and the elite troops!
"It's arms!" Someone responded quickly and immediately pointed out the core issue. "It's arms that caused such a huge difference between the two sides! Although Shangguan Guang used some strategy, it was also because of the application of arms that Shangguan Guang had a place to use it!"
Everyone was discussing it, and because of the Cultivation Conference, many representatives of countries around came, and representatives of these countries began to pay more attention to the role of arms.
Especially the three countries that once bordered Cai and now confronted Xiao and Tang. After seeing this information, the representatives of these three countries immediately broke out in cold sweat.
He Zhiguo, the prime minister of Qi in Anyang, immediately stood up and went to the Anyang City Lord's Mansion. He needed to buy a batch of arms from Anyang!
…………
In Qi State, His Emperor’s demeanor is ugly!
The expressions of civil and military officials around him were also wonderful. The war was almost certain to be defeated! It was still an unprecedented defeat.
There was a silence in the palace hall. Around them, the Grand Tutor Dong Jingrong and Grand Tutor Li Hui both had cold sweats on their temples. The Prime Minister went to Anyang and was seeking benefits for Qi. Now the people who practiced the country were the Grand Tutor and Grand Tutor.
As a result, the war that the Grand Tutor Dong Jingrong and Grand Marshal Li Hui vigorously promoted was defeated like this. The huge Qi State was actually defeated by the decline and the Houxia was defeated. This is no longer a simple issue of victory or defeat, but a national honor and even national security!
Needless to say, the national honor cannot beat the weak Houxia and have no face!
And national security is easy to explain - this battle fully demonstrates the combat capability of Qi! The combat capability of Qi, which is known as a strong one, seems to be somewhat vulnerable!
In fact, Qi State has committed the same problem as Jin State. It has been peaceful for a long time, and the soldiers have forgotten how to fight! People are lazy lives. If they don’t move for three years, they will forget the scars; if they don’t move for ten years, they will forget the pain; if they don’t move for more than a hundred years, they will forget the cruelty of war, from emperors to soldiers.
Not to mention, the emergence of arms has made generals and soldiers who have not experienced wars completely unable to adapt to new wars and new battlefields. With the sneak attacks of five miles and the bombing from the head, war is no longer a close-range battle, but mainly long-range combat. Such a war mode makes it impossible for many people to adapt! He has a strong cultivation level, but can only stare at him.
Reality gave Qi the best reminder! But this reminder hurts so much!
Two wealthy counties in the East were looted, and even Qi State was a little damaged!
The Emperor of Qi looked around with his tiger eyes, "Dear friends, tell me, how should we deal with it?"
The Grand Tutor Dong Jingrong took a step forward, "Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to send troops to stabilize the Baqiu and Langhuan counties in the east, and to regain the border defense. Secondly, summarize the lessons and counterattack the post-Xia!
In any case, we must use victory to declare the majesty of Qi! Only victory can only show the majesty of Qi!"
The Grand Marshal Li Hui also spoke: "Your Majesty, no matter what, we must win. Now, the phenomenon of 'power collapse' has occurred in the east of Yingzhou. The demise of the Daxia Kingdom, the decline of Cai Kingdom, the rise of Anyang, Tang Kingdom, and Xiao Kingdom, and the spread of industrial and commercial ideas have already shown the arrival of an era of fierce turbulent turbulence in a new era.
In this era, if we don’t want to be eliminated, we must catch up.
And with victory, there can be benefits, and with benefits, there can be united."
The Emperor of Qi snorted coldly, "So, what about Su Zhong Pavilion?"
As a defeated general, everyone didn't know what to do for a moment.
The Grand Marshal said: "Your Majesty, Su Zhong Pavilion is a rare general in the country. I dare to guarantee this, and failure is a common cause for military affairs.
Now, the emergence of arms and industry and commerce has caused the war situation to undergo fierce changes. The Jin general Li Lisong was defeated, and it is understandable that we have failed.
Failure is the mother of success. I believe that Su Zhong Pavilion must have learned enough lessons. I beg your Majesty to give Su Zhong Pavilion another chance. If you fail again, I am willing to be the same for the same crime!"
The Emperor of Qi looked at the Grand Marshal Li Hui and finally nodded, "Okay, the army is mobilized, you are responsible, I will take over Houxia in one fell swoop and show our country's power!
Dong Jingrong, you set out to restore the livelihood of the dam in the east, the Langhuan counties, etc..”
A defeat in a war cannot make Qi State. The emperor is more "shamed and angry". It is really disastrous to defeat a weak Hou Xia.
To be honest, this failure is a good thing for Qi State. A bucket of cold water awakened the arrogant Qi people and let everyone see the reality clearly! A failure once woke up a sleepy lion!
As the first to accept Li Xian’s industrial and commercial ideas, Qi State has begun to undergo a qualitative change! Later Xia, it is difficult to escape!
…………
Anyang is becoming more and more lively, and more and more experts are coming to the Wuyashan Demon Clan Chamber of Commerce and Bailing Group have begun to operate normally. Various Demon Clan items have begun to be sold publicly in Anyang, and the Demon Clan has also openly purchased a large number of items needed by the Demon Clan from Anyang.
Both the demon clan and the human clan have tasted the sweetness of public transactions. In terms of business, everyone gradually accepted the reality that the demon clan commercial group moved into Anyang.
In addition, the first batch of 1,000 small telescopes that can observe the moon were publicly sold, and they were sold out with a price tag, but they were sold out in just a few minutes. Then, there were people who were obsessed with the devil or demons in Anyang!
Many practices use the so-called "moonlight" to practice. Now everyone suddenly realizes that the moon does not shine, and suddenly many people who love to be stubborn are confused. The moon does not shine, so what is the moonlight?
This voice became louder and louder, and the past practice system began to be questioned. Various hypotheses began to be proposed.
Some say that the moonlight must exist, but our past cognition is somewhat wrong. Is it a kind of spiritual energy produced by the interaction between the moon and our fairyland?
Some people also say that ancient records should not be wrong, because there were immortals in the past; perhaps the loss of records led to problems in the current understanding.
Some even put forward extreme ideas - fantasy practice. The so-called fantasy practice means that the heart thinks, and the world exists because of human cognition. After this idea was proposed, Li Xian shouted that this is simply the shadow of modern philosophy.
Various conjectures began to appear, and Anyang's ideological liberation movement actually reached a peak again. The cognition of life, practice, society, the world, etc. began to sprout.
"We must build Anyang into an economic center, ideological and cultural center, industrial technology center, and science and technology center!" Li Xian began to dream.
At this moment, someone interrupted Li Xian's daydream. Chen Jinbing knocked on the door: "Young master, there is a master of the God Transformation Stage who claims to be Situ Zhanpeng to see you."
