Monarch of Evernight: Twenty-two quick battles
bsp;Nan Ruohuai suddenly stood up, a cold light flashed in his hand, the dagger was already placed on the old chamberlain's neck, and shouted: "Who ordered you to harm me?"
The old chamberlain was so frightened that his whole body trembled. His skin rubbed against the edge of the dagger, causing a **** and blood gushing out. He said in a trembling voice: "I am loyal to Your Majesty, but I really can't stand that man's arrogance, and I feel sorry for you!"
Nan Ruohuai pondered for a moment, slowly put away the dagger, and said: "If you saw that man killing the national master like a dog, you wouldn't think so. The so-called ancestral secret medicine can really What if it kills him?"
The old chamberlain raised his eyebrows, and said with murderous intent: "The worst is to fight him! You have a large army in hand, why are you afraid of him? Even though the battleship is big, if we are united as one, we will always have a chance to defeat it. It's gone. Battleship, what else does he have?"
Nan Ruohuai smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "You don't know, he also has a bigger warship, which didn't come over at all, it just stopped in the void. Now these warships together are nothing more than that huge warship. A fraction of the ship."
The old chamberlain was stunned by what he heard, with a look of disbelief on his face, "How could there be such a big battleship in this world?"
Nan Ruohuai shook his head and sat back in the big chair, yes, how could there be such a big battleship? And how big will the outside world be?
The number of mercenaries Qianye brought into the royal capital was not large, even less than the number of crew members, so he only controlled the aerospace landing field outside the city and the area near the south gate. Several ground buildings that could threaten the battleship were also occupied.
In this way, the royal capital is in a delicate state of de facto divide and conquer.
Qianye returned to the battle patrol and summoned the mercenary generals and Song Hui to the war room. Next to the large map of land encroachment on the wall, another high-scale map of Zheng was hung.
Qianye picked up the pointing pole, pointed out several cities in Zheng State, and said: "Here, here, and this area, we want to take these five cities by ourselves. Xudong Island is rich in minerals. Liaocheng can be transformed into a military industrial base, and these cities have both resources and manpower to build a channel to the dark race country in the west, ensuring that our mercenaries can continue to kill the hinterland of Yonglu. What do you have. Opinions? ”
None of the mercenary generals were strong in planning strategies. Several people from the Song clan looked surprised and could not say anything.
"Then it's settled." Qianye made his decision concisely and clearly.
Song Lun said: "Sir, this is equivalent to cutting Zheng Guo into one-third, and most of it is the essence. Will there be any objections from Zheng Guo?"
Song Hui smiled softly and said: "Yes, our King Xinzheng has 80,000 forbidden troops!"
What they actually mean is to remind Qianye that Nan Ruohuai is no longer the powerless person who can be dealt with at will. Now he at least superficially controls the Forbidden Army, and to a certain extent, the entire Zheng Kingdom will reject outsiders like Qianye. In the past, Nan Ruohuai had nothing, so it was no problem for Qianye to occupy Xudong Floating Island and Liaocheng in his name, but now, should we consider the reaction of King Xinzheng?
Qianye said: "We have wasted too much time in Zheng Guo. It doesn't matter what he thinks, and don't care. The matter has been decided, so it will be implemented accordingly. If there are any obstacles in the process, no matter it is Anyone should be eliminated. The only order I give you is to attack!"
The mercenary generals are all those who are afraid of the world being in chaos. They all screamed and screamed, and some said in weird voices: "What if the Forbidden Army comes to compete with us for territory?"
"There are so many of them! I'm scared to death!"
"That's right, there are 80,000 people, forty against one of you, Lao Lin, you are going to be overturned!"
"I'm so scared, haha!"
Various swear words kept popping up, making Song Hui's face turn red. She, a female gangster, could tease Qianye, but compared to these mercenaries who had truly come from the bottom, she was still a bit thin-skinned.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet." After Qianye waited for everyone to be honest, he assigned tasks to the generals. At the same time, he sent someone to notify Nan Ruohuai, asking him to collect all Zheng's floating warships and hand them over to Dark Fire unified command.
At the end of the meeting, the mercenary generals rushed away one by one to mobilize their troops, fearing that their colleagues would take away the credit. In fact, there are only two thousand elite mercenaries in total, and each of them has just over a hundred points. They may be able to defeat a city, but it is impossible to occupy it.
The mercenary generals assigned to the same city automatically got together to study the assignment of tasks during the siege. Several generals in charge of fleet deployment were surrounded by people, and they all wanted to get more air support for their troops, even an armed gunboat would be good.
Song Hui did not leave, however. She stood beside Qianye, staring at him from left to right, making him feel nervous, and asked with a wary look: "What do you want to do?"
Song Hui asked: "Did you really come up with this plan?"
"Of course." Qianye was a little confused by the question.
"I thought you only knew how to fight."
"What, is there something wrong with this plan?" Qianye asked humbly.
"It's just because there is no problem that I find it strange. You probably have no experience in commanding a major battle, nor do you have experience in working in a staff department."
"Maybe it's because when I encounter a problem, I wonder how Zining would solve it if he were here."
Song Hui shook her head, "This is not the seventh brother's style."
Qianye said helplessly: "I think this is good. Open up the passage and occupy important strongholds to ensure the safety of the rear and passage. What else is there? If someone obstructs it, just destroy him."
Song Hui gave a thumbs up and praised: "Domineering!"
Qianye rolled his eyes at her and said, "How can a small Zhengguo need to put so much thought into it?"
Song Huidao: "Then what should I do?"
“Shouldn’t you stay here and take charge of the overall situation?”
"I want to go to war, please give me some troops."
Qianye didn’t expect that she would make such a request. This girl is Song Zining's favorite cousin, and Qianye doesn't want anything to go wrong. Besides, as the name suggests, Song Hui's strength is not in fighting in battle.
Song Hui worked hard, but Qianye couldn't be entangled, so he gave her fifty mercenaries to guard the Royal Capital's airship base.
In the palace, Nan Ruohuai stood in the study with a gloomy expression. He threw a few documents to the civil and military ministers standing on both sides and said, "You should also take a look."
A general took it and looked at it and shouted: "Hand over all the floating battleships?! How can this be done?"
No matter what the old ministers and upstarts of the Zheng Kingdom thought in the palace, Qianye's war machine started up again. The elite mercenaries were divided into two teams, starting from the royal capital and attacking the two small cities around Liaocheng.
Each of these two cities only has tens of thousands of people, and the defenders are more than a thousand people. They are all local troops. Attacking at a one-on-one ratio, isn't it easy to capture them?
As for the south gate area and the aerospace landing site, Qianye had no intention of giving it up, which was a disgrace to the Forbidden Army general who came to take over. Fortunately, they still remembered how Liu Zhongyuan died. The huge battle cruiser on the floating battleship landing field not far away also reminded them who the sky of Zheng State now belonged to, which made them not do anything. Stupid thing.
After receiving the news that Qianye had begun to march westward, the imperial army was not to be outdone. They almost came out in full force, divided their troops into several groups, and attacked strategically important places in the country. That posture was like competing with Qianye for territory. There is also a group of forbidden troops, numbering 30,000, which is far more than other troops. The front of the troops is also pointing to the west. According to the marching route, it seems that they want to seize several important towns in the west before Qianye.
The Western Route Army of the Forbidden Army attacked crazily all the way and attacked the city, which was called heroic. Most of the Western Region originally belonged to the Second Prince, and the main force was in Liaocheng, which had already been crippled by Qianye. Without the mobile main force and the powerful generals with superior combat power, the defenses of the cities in the Western Region became empty.
However, Qianye has air power and a large number of transport ships. The elite troops are basically transported by air all the way. How can the Imperial Guards keep up with land machinery?
In Tacheng, the most important town in the Western Territory, the Dark Fire mercenaries, with the support of floating battleships, fought against it. This is the last stop of the Qianye Grand Corridor plan and the most important goal.
Tacheng has a population of more than 150,000, controls a vast area of hundreds of kilometers around, and guards the west gate of Zheng State. If Yongye's army wants to invade the interior of Zheng, it must destroy Tacheng. Otherwise, if the army goes straight into the hinterland of the human race, with such a serious enemy behind, the consequences will be disastrous.
Zheng Guo is located at the tip of the maple leaf. There are rolling mountains to the north and south, making it difficult for the army to pass. The mountains converged at the western border of Zheng, leaving a narrow strip less than a hundred kilometers wide. The tower city was built at the exit of this large passage and provided support for more than ten small castles and fortresses on the periphery.
The tower city was originally very important, with a standing garrison of ten thousand people. It's just that there is civil strife in Zheng, with princes vying with each other for position. The whereabouts of the old King Zheng are unknown, and it has developed to the edge of civil war. The emergence of Nan Ruohuai directly triggered a full-scale civil war.
Under such a chaotic situation, the tower city located on the border became less important. All the princes focused on were the defenders in the city. In order to enhance their own strength, princes came to Tacheng one after another to 'borrow troops'. This guard general is not a direct descendant of anyone, and he doesn't want to bet, nor does he want to be resented, so he has no choice but to give more or less troops.
However, there were too many princes in Zheng. Each of them had a few hundred people and sent out thousands of soldiers. When the dark fire troops came to the city, there were only 6,000 defenders in the tower city.
Facing Dark Fire's unprecedented large fleet, the defender knew that there was no hope of victory, not to mention that Qianye came under the banner of Nan Ruohuai. Now that Nan Ruohuai has occupied the royal capital, he has a rightful name and unification is in sight. Faced with a dilemma, the guard asked the messenger sent by Dark Fire to ask the strong men from both sides to fight in front of the battle line to determine the outcome.
The mercenaries readily agreed, and then the generals from both sides took action. More than a dozen mercenary generals swarmed up and instantly overwhelmed the defenders. It's pitiful that this guard is a strong man of level 16. He can defeat any mercenary in a duel, but he can't stand up to the wolves. In the blink of an eye, he is knocked to the ground and beaten.
In desperation, the guard had no choice but to admit defeat.
The victory or defeat was decided. When he was pulled up, his nose and face were bruised, his eyes were swollen, and his clothes and armor were in tatters. This showdown between strong men was like a fight between street gangsters.

These days I squeeze out a few scraps of time to type, and the proofreading was not careful enough when I finally published it. I will try my best to pay attention to it next.
