Monarch of Evernight: Escape at the first touch of 163
bsp;In the empire, Weiyuan is a special title, which means to show prestige outside the territory, and represents a great honor. The empire gave this title to Qianye. On the one hand, it had high hopes. It expected that he could reach a higher level in the future and win the title of Zhenyuan, or even Dingyuan, or that he could also be crowned king by Gong Gong.
The staff-wielding marshal is also half a level higher than the ordinary marshal, and can control other marshals on the joint battlefield. It is necessary to be awarded the Marshal with the Staff, so that Qianye can truly be called the commander-in-chief in the Black Sun Valley. Without this level of authority, it is always troublesome to command a large number of marshals.
One is glory, the other is real power. They cooperate with each other, showing the empire's great sincerity. In the Black Sun Valley, Qianye wants to take over all authority.
However, if you look at it from another angle, it also means that the empire has reached the end of its rope and has no one left to send, so it puts all its hope on Qianye, even his identity as a vampire. All deliberately forgotten.
The awarding ceremony was short and grand. Although no marshal except Zhao Xuanji was present, this was done deliberately to avoid embarrassment. After all, the previous relationship between the military and Qianye could not be described as unpleasant. Yes, it almost turned into a deadly feud.
At the end of the ceremony, a general with authority stayed behind to make the final handover with Qianye.
"How many troops are there in the Black Sun Valley? Who are the commanders? Where is our stronghold? How often can we resupply? How much is the supply? How many troops does the enemy have and what is their distribution situation?"
Qianye asked a series of questions in one breath.
The generals hung up the battle maps and answered them one by one. When all the questions were answered, Qianye let out a sigh of relief. The situation is worse than he expected. The empire currently has less than 50,000 troops in the Black Sun Valley, supported by several secret strongholds of limited scale. In comparison, Yongye has nearly half a million troops.
After Song Zining was seriously injured and unable to survive, the empire suffered successive defeats on the battlefield, with casualties increasing sharply, far exceeding that of Yong Ye. It was only then that everyone in the empire truly realized how remarkable the one to four casualties they had achieved during the Song Zining and Zhao Jundu era were.
The ground suffered a disastrous defeat, and the air was also affected. The Imperial transport fleet suffered heavy losses one after another, and its transport capacity was significantly reduced. Although Yongye did not take advantage in the air battle, the one-to-one exchange was something the empire could never afford.
No one in the empire dares to accept this situation, and no one is willing to accept it. The empire will never let anyone who can pick them up go into battle. This is the reason why Zhao Xuanji appeared in the military headquarters.
After all, the new world is just unknown. Even if everyone understands that if it is taken by the dark race, it will definitely be detrimental to the future of the human race, but no one can tell how long that time will be. As soon as the empire's local military force at the border was shaken, tens of millions of people would be massacred and reduced to the status of mermaid meat in the past.
An officer held up the calendar and said, "Sir, would you like to choose a suitable day to take office?"
Qianye pushed the calendar away and said: "There is no need to choose. Arrange the aerospace ship immediately. I will go to the Black Sun Valley now."
"Yes, sir!"
A moment later, a floating ship took off and sailed towards the gate of the new world.
It wasn't until he stood in the Black Sun Valley and joined the imperial troops that Qianye realized how desperate this army had become.
The remaining Imperial forces are stationed in a secret base. The so-called secret base is actually a more secretive valley with caves inside, which can accommodate troops to hide.
When Qianye's airship arrived, the soldiers were neither excited nor curious. Some sat together and chatted, while most were lying or sitting, with numb faces and unable to mention anything. Get excited.
Only a few low-level officers came to greet him, and the three divine generals who were still in the army were nowhere to be seen.
"Where are Wen Yuan Gong, Ming Haigong and Liu Shuai?" Qianye recalled several unfamiliar names.
"The three adults are tired from fighting for a long time and are all injured. They are resting at the moment. Master Qianye came unexpectedly and was unable to greet him. Please forgive me."
"Take me to them."
Several officers led the way and led Qianye to a cave. The three gods took their own corner and were all meditating and resting. Seeing Qianye's arrival, they initially just raised their eyelids, but then they reluctantly stood up after recognizing the military attaché behind them.
Qianye looked at the environment. The cave was just slightly larger and cleaner. The furnishings inside were extremely shabby, and the three generals only had a camp bed, which made them extremely embarrassed.
The general who accompanied Qianye announced the edict and then briefly introduced Qianye. From this moment on, Qianye became the supreme commander of this force and the head of the empire in the entire new world.
While the military generals were still there, Qianye immediately summoned the generals in the army to start the first combat meeting.
"Why are there only so few people?" This was the first question Qianye asked.
Ming Haigong is already old, with gray hair. He stroked his beard and replied: "Master Qianye doesn't know something. It's not that the empire's support is insufficient, but that we don't need too many soldiers. Right now, these are already a little... It's very difficult to move or hide. It's hard for us to escape the pursuit of the dark race and find this place, but it's hard to say how long this place can last."
Wen Yuangong also said: "The previous commander only took office for seven days. He lost five battles in a row and lost 30,000 troops. He was also seriously injured and returned to the empire for treatment. We are just here to maintain the situation. I think... It would be good to be able to keep these soldiers and bases."
Qianye glanced at the military general. The general spread his hands to show his helplessness.
Qianye suddenly understood that the three people in front of him were either out of favor and out of favor, or they were in their twilight years like Ming Haigong, risking their lives to fight for a military career for their family. In short, they were all marginal figures with no hope of life or death. People ask. The former commander could return to the country for treatment if he was seriously injured, but they could not. Either he was injured to the point of damaging his foundation, or he died in the Black Sun Valley. There was no other choice.
In this way, even if they volunteer to fill this hole, it is strange that their morale and morale are high.
Qianye glanced at the three of them, carefully this time, while recalling their information.
Ming Hai's surname is Zhou. He comes from a low-ranking family. He is a rare genius in his family who has successfully broken through the Divine General's Heavenly Pass. However, when he was young, he had insufficient resources and a weak foundation. His promotion to the rank of God General was already at his limit.
He has worked hard for many years just to turn his family into a top-class family. However, he is far from Lin Xitang's unparalleled talent. After half a lifetime of hard work, he has only made himself the leader in a low-class family.
This time he took a risk before dying just to accumulate merit so that his family could consolidate its current position.
Even with Lin Xitang's ability and the honor of the emperor's master, once he dies, no one in the family can take the lead, and there are signs of instability in the fiefdom, let alone Ming Haigong. Even if no one opposes him, the descendants of the family must show solid military exploits. Some people will be jealous of the shelter their peers received from their ancestors, but some people will not be angry at the sacrifice of their ancestors and put their descendants in trouble. A gentleman's fortune will be cut off in several generations, but this number of generations is not so easy to define. No national policy can exhaust fairness.
Wen Yuan Gong and Chen Tongqi are another type of story. He used to be a confidant of the Chang Sheng King, and he also participated in the Chang Sheng King's conspiracy. According to the law, he was punished by the Manchus. However, as a **** general, Wen Yuan Gong was killed. It is allowed to perform meritorious deeds for crimes. As long as you perform enough meritorious deeds, you can avoid family troubles.
Liu Chengyun is a retired marshal, and his situation is similar to Ming Haigong. Both of them fought hard for their family in their later years.
These three people are all low-ranking divine generals. In Qianye's opinion, they have weak auras and are not opponents worthy of attention. But after all, they are all divine generals and can be considered quite capable assistants.
Qianye carefully inquired about the three people’s specialties and abilities, and he roughly had an idea. Just as he was about to discuss the next strategy, an officer suddenly rushed over and shouted: "There are traces of dark races in the distance!"
Wen Yuanggong stood up and said in despair: "You came so fast?"
Qianye stood up calmly and said, "It's okay to come and have a look."
The Empire only built simple defenses outside the valley base, which was better than nothing. At this moment, it was too late to build additional fortifications, and there were not enough supplies. In the repeated retreats and escapes, heavy materials such as mobile fortifications had long been abandoned.
The number of dark warriors chasing after them was only ten thousand, but the three generals all had solemn expressions on their faces, hinting at the intention of retreating.
Qianye glanced left and right and said calmly: "There are not many people on the other side, so we can definitely fight."
Liu Chengyun has been in the army for a long time. At this time, he said: "Sir, you don't know something. This kind of mobile army with about 10,000 people may not seem like much, but it is actually the most elite. The strong ones inside are doubled, and They are all led by the Marquis of Glory. Once they are entangled, multiple troops will arrive from all directions in less than half a day, so it is best to avoid them."
Qianye said thoughtfully, "Isn't this a strategy Zining has used before?"
"This...it seems so." Liu Chengyun said.
Song Zining also had multiple troops scattered outside that day, controlled from a distance. If the dark race accidentally divided their troops, they would be annihilated by the suddenly assembled troops. But now, Yong Ye has used this trick on the empire, which has to be said to be very ironic.
The difference between one and the other is actually the secret technique. Song Zining relied on the skill of heaven and could predict the enemy's plans first, which was why he achieved brilliant results in the early stage.
After Ye Tong counterattacked from a distance and severely damaged Song Zining, although she did not have the advantage of Tianji Technique, she had enough troops and a large number of strong men. As long as she kept looking for the main force of the emperor to fight decisively, the empire would swallow the bitter pill again and again. When it comes to consumption, the empire is actually the one that cannot afford to lose.
Looking at the dark army rushing in from the distance, Qianye said: "Sound the horn! The whole army attacks!"
"What?" The three **** generals could hardly believe their ears.
"The whole army attacks! Why, did the three of you not hear clearly, or do you want to disobey the military order?"
At this moment, the military general has not left yet, but is watching from the side. Liu, Zhou, and Chen were all marginal figures in the empire, so naturally they did not dare to openly disobey orders, let alone act timidly in front of a junior. Then, with a grimace on their face, they all went back to mobilize their own troops and advance to attack.
After a while, the two armies were not far apart and entered the range of fire.
The Emperor's Army clearly had a numerical advantage, but the dark race troops on the opposite side were the first to attack. As the troops advanced step by step, the extended artillery fire also fell on the Emperor's Army's head.
The sporadic heavy artillery fire coverage actually caused some panic among the imperial army. In fact, most of the shells were intercepted in mid-air, and the falling explosions were sparse. But many soldiers were not looking ahead, but looking back, waiting for the order to retreat.
Past experience tells them that once they get entangled with the enemy in front of them, they will be in trouble. In recent battles, fleeing at the first touch seems to have become a fighting mode.
Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, Qianye stood motionless and said, "Where are our heavy artillery? Why haven't we fired yet?"
Once the heavy artillery is deployed, it cannot be easily put away. The three **** generals beside Qianye looked at each other and knew that he had made up his mind to fight the dark race here.
