The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Niu Wu and Zhou Zheng were both confused. They couldn't imagine that the Silla people would be so vulnerable. They thought it might be a fierce battle, but they didn't expect it to end like this.

While they despised the Silla people in their hearts, they also accelerated their military training.

On the other side, the Chu brothers led their army to attack Liaoxia, a small country. In addition to the casualties among the generals, Jiang Zheng only had 150,000 troops left.

This is because some of the remnant troops who attacked western Liaoning escaped, and the rest were soldiers recruited in recent times.

As the current emperor of Liaoxia, Jiang Zheng immediately conscripted soldiers from the public. In a short period of time, he conscripted 300,000 soldiers. The total population of Liaoxia was only three million, so he almost mobilized one-tenth of the population of Liaoxia.

For a time, the entire Liaoxia nation was living in misery and complaints were everywhere. Originally, the people of Liaoxia had no objection to who should be the emperor.

Because of the difference in cultural heritage, these people have no sense of national honor, let alone any sense of national crisis. They just want the rulers to treat them well.

Furthermore, without the solidification of Confucianism, the common people and the aristocracy had no idea of ​​the relationship between the ruler and the subject. Therefore, after Jiang Zheng took over Liaoxia and killed all the royal family members of Liaoxia, no one came out to resist.

However, his evil deeds in Liaoxia have aroused great public indignation.

However, due to the ignorant thinking of the Liaoxia people, even though the public outrage was great, there was no peasant uprising.

However, Jiang Zheng's political position in Liaoxia was also facing a precarious situation.

At this time, Jiang Zheng was sitting on the dragon throne. He felt extremely cold and his eyes were about to spit fire. He never thought that he had clearly seized the Liaoxi land of the Daxi Dynasty.

As long as he was given time to develop, he believed that he would be able to build an empire more powerful than Dayan. However, Jiang Fan once again ruined his plan.

He also didn't expect that Jiang Fan could control the entire Great Western Dynasty in such a short time, and support a female emperor to take the throne. He also made the Great Western Dynasty's army so powerful.

The firearms army he had was unable to gain any advantage over the Dashi army, and he was puzzled as to why Jiang Fan's firearms army was invincible.

The firearms army under his command was no different from ants when it encountered the army trained by Jiang Fan. Not only did it collapse at the first touch, it was simply pinned to the ground and rubbed.

The disastrous defeat of an army of 100,000 and the sudden change of ownership of the Liaoxi land that he had just acquired all indicated that he was inferior to Jiang Fan.

The Liaoxia military capital is very close to the capital. Chu Chengxiong and Chu Chengrui, with an army of 220,000, have already approached the Liaoxia capital. As long as they can attack the capital, Liaoxia will be completely taken over.

At this time, in front of the army, there were 300,000 newly formed troops from Liaoxia. They were divided into three large corps, forming a triangle to block the front of the Dashi Army.

Facing the newly formed 300,000 Liaoxia troops, brothers Chu Chengxiong and Chu Chengrui divided the Dashi Army into three armies, each with 70,000 soldiers, and quickly approached the 300,000 troops in front.

On one of the mountain tops, Chu Chengrui and Chu Chengxiong stood on a huge rock. They looked at the battlefield in front of them through binoculars with calm expressions.

Although they were facing an army of 300,000, they were not worried at all. What kind of combat effectiveness could a newly formed army, which was also a forcibly recruited army, have?

After receiving the fireworks signal, the three battlefields launched attacks simultaneously at the first opportunity, and the artillery of the rear army was the first to demonstrate its powerful power.

The artillery fire bombarded the three battlefields mercilessly, and in the blink of an eye, the shells exploded in the Liaoxia New Army.

What followed was a cavalry charge. The Dashi cavalry rushed towards the opposing army with boundless power.

At this time, the Liaoxia New Army had already been stunned by the artillery fire, and the entire army formation was in chaos. At the moment of the cavalry charge, the Liaoxia New Army on the three battlefields began to suffer a complete defeat.

When Chu Chengrui and Chu Chengxiong saw this scene, disappointment showed on their faces. They thought that even if this new army was very useless, it should still cause them some trouble.

Therefore, they could be said to have treated this decisive battle very seriously, but they never expected that this army of 300,000 people was even more weak and useless than they had imagined.

They were defeated as soon as the battle started. Then all that was left was a one-sided pursuit.

On the other side, in the Liaoxia Palace, Jiang Zheng looked at the court officials in front of him, and his thoughts slowly returned to normal.

At this time, the leading military officer among the court officials standing below stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, my 150,000 regular troops have already deployed around the capital and are ready to fight the Great Western Army at any time. In addition, the newly formed 300,000 troops have already rushed to the front line. They should be able to stop the enemy's offensive in a short period of time."

This man is called Shangguan Wudi, another confidant of his. However, this confidant was not left to him by his grandfather, but a confidant he selected from among the killers of Xueyun Tower after he bribed them.

This person's strength is infinitely close to the Grandmaster level, and he only needs an opportunity to enter the Grandmaster level.

And now he is the supreme commander of the Liaoxia army and the trump card in Jiang Zheng's hand.

Jiang Zheng nodded after hearing this. Although he was still worried, he felt more at ease. Although, the combat effectiveness of the 300,000-strong army was not very good.

But he had the advantage of having more people. Even if he had to sacrifice their lives, he believed he could still stop the offensive of the Dashi Army. If he was luckier, he might even be able to wipe out half of the Dashi Army's forces.

"Yes, Your Majesty. We in Liao and Xia now have 450,000 soldiers. Why should we fear a small army like the Daxi? Even if they break through the front line of defense, as long as they rush to the vicinity of our capital, I am afraid they will be a tired army. By then, it will be easy for the 150,000-strong army to destroy them!"

"Yes... yes... yes! Congratulations to your majesty for destroying the Dashi Army and protecting the Liaoxia Kingdom!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for protecting our Liaoxia country!"

A group of court officials hurriedly flattered him. Before the results of the battle were reported back, they were already fantasizing about defeating the Dashi Army. And these people were just flatterers trained by Jiang Zheng.

Hearing the congratulations from the court officials, Jiang Zheng, who was in a bad mood, felt somewhat relieved and honored, and there was even a hint of joy in his eyes. He also felt that it should be so.

But just as he had this thought, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. A panicked general rushed in and knelt in front of Jiang Zheng in the blink of an eye.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened..."

As his voice rang out, the entire court was suddenly plunged into astonishment. Jiang Zheng felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, as if something bad had happened.

"Why are you so flustered? What on earth happened..." Shangguan Wudi snorted coldly. His voice, mixed with his inner breath, shocked the general's heart and made his whole body tremble.
