Puppet emperor?Summon three thousand Xuanjia troops at the beginning

Chapter 710: Night attack, a perfect plan?
The eighteen armies of Daxuan each followed their own path.

Yet they support each other and are not far apart.

Where the army is.

The leading general was a ninth-rank national soldier. He had just experienced a battle and there was a hint of fatigue in his eyes.

Although the enemy that just appeared was not very strong, his fighting spirit was very strong.

So it caused him some trouble.

Under such circumstances, his mind was somewhat exhausted.

This is war.

Sometimes it is not only your body that is tired, but also your mind.

If you kill too many people, you will also feel tired.

It’s just because his strength is strong enough that he can make quick adjustments in a short period of time.

"The people of Daqian are really difficult to deal with.

The place we are attacking now originally belonged to Damong, and it has not been under the jurisdiction of Daqian Kingdom for long. However, within such a short period of time, all the soldiers in this place have returned.

If such a terrifying dynasty is allowed to continue to develop, it will probably surpass our Daxuan Dynasty in a few years."

He spoke.

When he spoke, his voice was slightly emotional and after hearing his words, the faces of the generals around him became a little more solemn.

All those who could stand beside him were the generals of the army.

Each of them is a strong man of the upper third grade level.

There are even more than one eighth-rank national scholar.

Of course they understood that what their commander said was indeed correct.

"It's really that the methods used by the Great Qian Kingdom to attract people are too extreme. Their taxes are much lower than those of our Great Xuan Dynasty, and they are not stingy in other aspects.

The subsidies for these common people were exaggerated to the extreme, and I am afraid that no other dynasty could compare to it.

The most important thing is that the ruler of Daqian State dares to delegate power.

A lot of power was given up by the ruler of Daqian Shangguo, and he was not afraid that the people he sent were untrustworthy and would lead to the plundering of the foundation of the dynasty. "

The person who said this was an excellent patriot. He saw all of this very clearly, but even if he saw it clearly it would be of no use because the situation they were facing now was extremely difficult.

What puzzled them most among all this was why the ruler of Daqian State dared to give up all these powers.

Although there are semi-saints in the dynasty, even those ministers who rule their own territories will never rebel.

But what if I don't rebel?

If the other party is not loyal and does not care much about the dynasty, the people will surely suffer and eventually suffer resentment.

After all, when a person has enough power, what he thinks will naturally be completely different from before.

Therefore, in any powerful country, although the ruler will try to delegate power to various places, it is absolutely impossible to let it go completely.

Instead, they will send people to conduct inspections from time to time.

They would even require the ministers and generals stationed there to change their locations regularly and completely, in order to prevent them from becoming deeply entrenched or even difficult to remove.

However, the natural result of this is that the ministers and generals stationed in various places do not have a very good understanding of the local conditions.

The taxation problem is equally serious.

The Great Qian Kingdom has reduced so many taxes. Aren't they afraid that they will not be able to fight wars because of lack of food in the treasury?

However, after hearing his words, an eighth-rank scholar stood up and said helplessly:
“What you said is really important.

Although I don’t know why the King of Daqian State trusts his subjects so much.

But as for the tax issue, I think everyone should have an answer in their hearts.”

His words made everyone fall silent.

really……

They actually know it in their hearts.

The Great Qian Kingdom has always been in a state of war. After the war, it will naturally plunder the opponent's food. The plundered food is enough to fill the national treasury, so now the Great Qian Kingdom is fighting to support the war.

Such an approach may indeed bring considerable hidden dangers, but it must be said that at least when the war is won, all these hidden dangers can be eliminated.

And now the Great Qian Kingdom has always been in an advantageous position in the wars with many dynasties. Therefore, even they have to admit that even though the Great Qian Kingdom is short of food now, it has definitely not reached the point where it cannot be reversed.

After thinking about this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

The Great Qian Kingdom is really too difficult to deal with.

If this continues, the Daqian Kingdom will become increasingly difficult to deal with.

“Well, these are things that may only happen in the future, and since our Daxuan Dynasty has declared war on the Daqian Kingdom this time, this war will definitely not end so easily.

This time our eighteen armies are dispatched at the same time. Even if the many generals of the Great Qian Kingdom have the ability to clone themselves, it is impossible for them to deal with so many of our forces at the same time.

Just based on the foundation of their Great Qian Kingdom, compared with our Great Xuan Dynasty, there is a huge difference between them. "

The ninth-rank scholar who spoke sneered.

Ended the topic of conversation.

Because he also knew that if they continued talking, it would not do them any good, so it would be better to stop the topic here.

Just at this time.

"Report~"

A voice suddenly sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

Seeing the spy running over, everyone's eyes became more serious.

Because the other party's behavior now is enough to prove that something must have happened, otherwise this spy would not be so panicked.

"what happened?"

The ninth-rank state scholar spoke.

"General, General Sun's troops have been attacked and are suffering heavy losses. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to continue advancing."

Hearing this, the ninth-rank scholar's expression slightly stiffened.

"Good means."

It has only been a short time, but one of the armies has already suffered heavy losses.

It can be imagined that when the other party went to deal with General Sun's subordinates, they definitely sent a lot of people.

“It’s okay.” He groaned for a moment, then continued, “Among the eighteen armies, Lao Sun’s strength is considered weak.

He has the responsibility of attracting attention.

Although he has suffered heavy losses now, no matter what, we have achieved our goal.

Now that Lao Sun has been attacked, it gives us room to advance. Notify everyone immediately and speed up our advancement.

I will launch an attack on Que City within three days!"

He looked at the heavy city on the map and spoke.

Quecheng is of vital importance to them.

Because according to the information they had discussed before, there was a large amount of food and grass in this city.

If they could capture this city, it would not only ease the pressure on their supplies, but would also significantly weaken the Great Qian Kingdom.

Although the conclusion they had drawn from various analyses was that even if the Great Qian Kingdom was short of food, it would definitely not fail easily because of this.

But food shortage is indeed a reality. So if he can seize the opportunity, he may be able to put great pressure on the Great Qian Kingdom in this way, so that it will make a wrong judgment.

"Yes!"

The generals nodded suddenly, and then immediately instructed the soldiers under their command to advance quickly.

The enemy is not around now.

This is naturally a huge opportunity for them.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the city.

Looking at the city in front of them, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

The ninth-rank scholar also showed a hint of joy on his face.

"finally reached."

Although the city in front of him was tall, there was no fear in his eyes.

Because he had already made corresponding preparations for the battle ahead.

"Build siege ladders on the spot. I will attack Que City at night before dark!"

After saying this, he immediately headed towards the surrounding woods.

The ninth-rank state scholar looked at the city in front of him with a stern expression.

Although this city is very difficult to attack, according to the intelligence they had previously obtained, there may be no reinforcements here.

Quecheng itself does not have too many troops, after all, it is not on the front line.

Therefore, the possibility of their winning this battle is very great, and he will not miss this opportunity no matter what.

But he didn't know that what he thought was indeed correct, there were not too many troops in the city.

After all, the current military situation of the Great Qian Kingdom cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

During this period of truce, both sides were gathering intelligence on each other, so they had their own understanding of the conditions of some of the armies.

How many troops are there living in the vicinity of the Great Qian Kingdom?

Even though it is impossible to fully explore the situation of the Daxuan Dynasty, we can still get a rough idea of ​​70% of it.

The most important thing is that the conditions near Quecheng are not what ordinary people need, so it is impossible for a second army to appear here anyway.

So he decided to take over the city in front of him.

But just as they were preparing to attack the city.

In the city, a man put down the book in his hand.

"He's finally here. I've been waiting for him for two days. He's still pretty fast. I thought I'd have to wait a little longer."

Hearing his words, the generals beside him also smiled.

Although the number of troops in their city is only over 30,000.

Outside the city, the number of troops exceeded 300,000.

This ten-fold gap can be said to be a huge difference. Even if they have tall cities, it is impossible to make up for such a gap.

But as long as the person in front of them is there, they will have no worries in their hearts.

Because the name of the person in front of him is Li Mu!
Li Mu glanced at everyone and then said:
"If nothing unexpected happens, the enemy will attack the city tonight. At that time, I believe the enemy's main general and many other generals will try to attack.

Want to take us down in one fell swoop.

This is also a good opportunity for us.

The numerical gap between the enemy and us is indeed huge, so under such circumstances, the best way is to defeat the opponent's main general first.

Without their main general, even if the enemy had 300,000 men, they would be nothing more than a mob.

Get ready and end this battle tonight."

"The last general takes command!"

The generals responded immediately.

Then Li Mu picked up the book in his hand again and ignored everything else.

It’s still early, so instead of wasting time, you might as well read more of the book in your hand.

He could feel that the gap between himself and that semi-saint was only a fine line.

To make up for that gap, we need to make progress in many aspects.

Therefore, reading a book may not be a bad thing for him. Perhaps he can make a breakthrough in the process of reading.

Of course, for him, this is also just a hobby.

Anyway, I'm free anyway...

In the blink of an eye, the sky gradually darkened, and the entire city was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

In the eyes of the army of the Daxuan Dynasty under the city, these people of the Daqian Kingdom must be terrified by their arrival.

A ninth-rank state scholar of the Daxuan Dynasty stood in the camp, looking at the situation above with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Prepare to attack the city."

He will take this city tonight.

As night fell, the entire army of the Daxuan Dynasty was ready to attack, but they were not in a hurry to take action. Instead, they were waiting for the Daqian Kingdom army to fall asleep.

Because the best time for them to attack is when the army of Daqian Kingdom falls asleep.

However, if we attack now, it is likely to bring them some other unnecessary troubles. After all, the people of the Daqian Kingdom are probably in a state of vigilance.

Attacking now would not gain any advantage at all and might even cause some trouble.

Looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, the ninth-rank official of the Daxuan Dynasty finally stood up from the big tent.

Accompanying him were some other top three-rank national warriors, each of whom was ready for battle.

There are still many torches on the city walls.

But everyone knew very well that at this moment, most of the people in the Daqian Kingdom were probably already asleep.

Therefore, if they attack now, no one will be able to react at all, and they will be able to easily take over the city in front of them.

The group quickly led an elite army and quietly walked towards the city.

There were no signs of any attack.

Just as they thought, the people in the city were completely unaware of their arrival.

When everyone is ready.

A series of ditch locks were suddenly thrown onto the top of the city wall.

Then the soldiers of the Daxuan Dynasty below grabbed the hooks and climbed up quickly.

The same thing happened to several generals. They just grabbed the hook and climbed to the top of the city wall with a few taps.

On the top of the city wall, the soldiers of the Daqian Kingdom had already reacted and attacked them.

But it was obvious that the other party was not well prepared and just responded hastily.

At this moment, the ninth-rank official of the Daxuan Dynasty immediately became proud.

"I've heard that the generals of the Great Qian Kingdom are very good at planning, but what can they do in front of me?"
