The Prodigal Son of the Empire

"How many."

Xiang Tai said in a low voice: "Less than 15 people fled back on the day of the war."

"Less than 15 million?"

"Including heavy cavalry, nearly [-] people were dispatched, which means that there were more than [-] casualties."

Dugu Xin whispered.

"It takes a long time to count so many people, no matter how many people there are in Dachu, can I afford to be killed like this?"

The first thousand and 470 chapters are difficult to choose!

Because Xiang Tai was so close, he happened to hear this murmur, and couldn't help but feel sad. He watched the fires outside the city. It was nothing more than the death of so many people. In the end, the enemy army collected the corpses and burned them. It was really sad. To the extreme.

Xiang Taiqiang lifted his spirits and said: "Although our army suffered heavy casualties in this battle, it was not completely defeated. There are still 30 cavalry in the entire establishment..."

He couldn't continue talking.

The number of 30 cavalry is quite a lot, but it is not enough to look at in front of the enemy. Now the gap in troop strength has been reversed.

"At present, there is another way. The main force of the enemy army is here, which is the first battlefield, and there is a second battlefield on the side of Yan Kingdom..."

He couldn't go on anymore.

When attacking at the beginning, they chose three routes. One was the eastern province of Zhao State, the main battlefield, the other was Yan State's side, and the third was Qi State Navy's attack from Nansha Bay.

The third front had long since died, Qi was defeated and the country was in turmoil.

Later, he pinned his hopes on the country of Yan.

If it succeeds, Yan State can be used as a springboard to attack Zhao State, making it overwhelmed.

But the battle here is not going well.

At first, under the design of Emperor Yan Murong Zhao, the loss was huge, and Wang Kang also sent 30 troops there. The two sides converged and stood firm. They were in a stalemate. Chu State wanted to hold back the troops there. Wang Kang wanted to hold back Chu State and share the pressure on the main battlefield.

So there is nothing to do.

That is, they can only rely on their own

As for foreign aid, don't think about it for now.

A million troops have just arrived, how can there be so many reinforcements?

Thinking about it, Xiang Tai became more and more impatient.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"By the way, we still have a complete corps"

Xiang Tai said: "There is also King Duan Xiang Zhi, he has more than [-] troops..."

Before the start of the war, they were suspicious of King Duan, and the quarrel was very unpleasant. Xiang Zhi was so angry that he didn't wait for the reinforcements to arrive. After the meeting, he left Changning and returned to Beiwang City, saying that he wanted to return directly to Fengguo. Should not go back now.

It's just that they didn't expect that because of such contradictions, they saved a new force.

Xiang Zhi did not participate in the battle, and his army affiliation was still intact.

At the beginning, because of the arrival of millions of reinforcements, they didn't think much of Xiang Zhi, and thought they didn't need him anymore. Now at this juncture, they have to need him, which is really a shame...

What tone should I use?

Xiang Tai thought, King Duan should take care of the overall situation.

"I will personally write a letter to King Duan and ask him to lead his troops to support him. When he arrives, we will break through and the two sides will meet."

At this moment, Dugu Xin spoke in a deep voice.

His voice was still hoarse, but his mood had returned to normal.

Four days was too much, and he had already accepted this reality.

"Breakthrough?"

Xiang Tai frowned.

Breaking through means giving up Changning City, in other words, giving up Hengguo. As Hengwang, he can't accept it...

Dugu Xin said: "After experiencing a big defeat, our morale is bleak, we no longer have the ability to fight the enemy directly..."

"Then you can stick to Changning."

Xiang Tai said: "Changning is the gateway to the west of our Great Chu. Once it is breached, the enemy army can drive straight in until Pingguo and Jinguo. This opening cannot be opened."

He strongly opposed it, whether it was from the perspective of Hengguo itself or the overall situation, he could not retreat.

He is ready to stand firm and fight a protracted war with the enemy to stabilize the situation

"What you said is the truth, but have you ever thought about it? We have lost so much and the surrounding area is empty. Changning will become an isolated city. I'm afraid there will be no way out."

Dugu Xin said in a low voice: "How long do you think Changning City can hold?"

"The enemy has played all their cards. It is known that they have a weapon that can launch an air strike. Do you think the Changning City Wall can stop it?"

this question.

Xiang Tai was taken aback suddenly.

If the enemy really launched an air strike and carried out a large-scale bombing of Changning City, how can we hold on to it? I am afraid that Changning will be destroyed without attack.

"In addition, I have read the detailed battle report of Gaoyi City. The enemy broke through the city in one day. At that time, they used a kind of artillery weapon"

Dugu Xin said in a deep voice: "The hole cracked the stone city, and the sound shook for tens of miles, but in this war, this kind of weapon has not been seen..."

Xiang Tai was taken aback again.

He has been paying attention to this information, how can he not know this kind of siege weapon, but because of the big defeat, his mind is mixed, and he is negligent and forgets.

From this point of view, it seems that Changning City is really difficult to hold...

"Indecisiveness leads to disaster"

Dugu Xin said in a low voice: "At this time, I can only endure the pain and give up Changning and Hengguo..."

"Shangzhu Kingdom?"

Xiang Tai looked ugly, this decision was too difficult for him.
