“My lord, forgive my bluntness,” a minister stepped forward, “but fighting the Russians is like throwing eggs against a rock.”
"It is better to retreat early than to bring about one's own destruction."
"The grasslands of northern Xinjiang are so vast that there is a place for people like us to stay anywhere."
There's no need for us to stay here and fight to the death.
"Yes, sir."
"As the saying goes, a true man knows when to yield and when to stand firm. What will we gain by staying here?"
"You get nothing but a piece of WALL-E and a city full of corpses."
These guys started chattering away again.
Not one of them had any backbone.
Jiang Tian frowned more and more as he listened.
This motley crew managed to invade the Great Xia Dynasty and almost wiped out all the people in the north of the Great Xia Dynasty.
It is easy to imagine how weak the army of the Great Xia Dynasty was during the Five Barbarian Invasions.
"You all need to check your own crotches and see if your testicles are still there," Jiang Tian roared. "Right now, I just want to incite these Xianbei people to fight the Russians to the death."
It would be best if all those guys were dead.
"But……"
“No buts…” Jiang Tian stood up and slowly walked down the nine steps.
Xiang Yu, Dian Wei, and Li Yuanba followed closely behind him.
"My men." Jiang Tian gave a thumbs up and pointed to Li Yuanba, Dian Wei, and Xiang Yu behind him. "More than 200 men defeated and killed many of the enemy's men."
"Aren't those Russian soldiers also just like people with two shoulders supporting one head?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
These civil and military officials had all seen Jiang Tian's Tiger Army escorting hundreds of Russian soldiers through the streets.
Some of the civil and military officials also witnessed how Jiang Tian dealt with Sheffield and his men at the palace gates.
Every word Jiang Tian uttered was deafening.
"I'd like to ask you, how did those Russian soldiers get into the city? Did you organize any effective resistance?"
Jiang Tian's question left everyone speechless.
They thought about it briefly.
"My lord, those Russian soldiers are very cunning. They claimed to be merchants and followed Grand Marshal Murong Chui into the city."
"As a result, after these beasts entered the city, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all sorts of evil deeds."
Jiang Tian glanced at the crowd: "When these beasts raised their knives against you, you didn't dare to resist? Did any of you resist?"
Everyone shook their heads.
"General Murong Chui forbade us from resisting. He said we couldn't offend these Russians."
"General Murong Chui is still counting on these Russians to deal with you."
Jiang Tian finally understood that these guys in front of him were a bunch of cowardly bullies who preyed on the weak.
They can't accomplish anything if you expect them to.
"My army will be arriving soon." Jiang Tian snapped his fingers, and more than 100 Tiger Warriors walked in.
Each Tiger Legion soldier carried seven or eight muskets.
After the Tiger Warriors entered the palace hall, they neatly laid out their muskets in front of everyone.
"These are the muskets we captured."
"Those Rakshasa people are nothing to be afraid of. As long as you fight with all your might, you can defeat them decisively."
"Since you have the ability to defeat them, why did you choose to abandon the city and flee?"
"Once you leave the capital, you people will be like stray dogs."
"Although the imperial city has been bombed into ruins, the city walls are the barrier you are guarding."
Once you leave the capital, you are nothing but lambs to the slaughter.
They can hunt you down at will.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and they all nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Tian is right.
Once they leave the capital, they can expect to be slaughtered at will.
Upon hearing this, Murong Feng exclaimed, "The sir is right. We cannot simply cower like cowards."
If we don't resist, we'll just have to wait to be conquered and our people exterminated.
"Murong Feng, how many troops can you gather right now?" Jiang Tian asked.
Murong Feng shook his head; he didn't know either.
Murong Feng stood up and walked down the steps to the middle of the crowd.
"Tell me, all of you. How many elite troops can we Xianbei still muster?"
"General Murong has 200,000 troops outside the capital. If we recruit soldiers again, we can raise 300,000 troops within two months."
We can muster an army of 500,000.
Jiang Tian: "The advantage of 500,000 over 200,000 is in my hands."
Everyone nodded in agreement, but some remained puzzled.
"My lord, can we really defeat those Rakshasa people?"
"Their muskets and cannons were extremely powerful."
“We are no match for them at all.”
Jiang Tian picked up a musket and held it upright.
He walked through the crowd.
Make sure everyone can see the musket he's holding.
"These are the weapons of the Rakshasa people,"
“I also know something about the bows and arrows that your Xianbei cavalry are equipped with.”
"If you use your bows and arrows properly, they are much more powerful than these muskets."
“Most importantly,” Jiang Tian said, getting to the point, “the bow and arrow can fire continuously, while this musket can’t even fire two bullets in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.”
"Do you still think these Russians are invincible at this point?"
Next, Jiang Tian demonstrated the firing process of the musket.
Only then did everyone realize that firing this musket was extremely troublesome.
First, gunpowder is loaded, and then the projectile is loaded.
The fire can only be lit after everything is ready.
After firing a shot, the barrel must be cleaned first, and then gunpowder and bullets are loaded.
Being able to fire 2 to 3 bullets within a minute is already considered very fast.
A skilled archer can shoot at least 30 to 40 arrows per minute.
Jiang Tian said that.
Everyone present was full of confidence.
"Thank you for the reminder, sir."
"Your words have been a revelation to us."
"I didn't expect that this Rakshasa was only powerful on the surface, and was actually nothing special."
"Now that you've said that, we Xianbei people must fight the Russians to the death."
"Which of the civil and military officials has not been harmed by the Russians? It is time for us to seek justice from these Russians."
"We must go into battle and kill the enemy to avenge our families."
The crowd was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to fight the Rakshasa to the death.
"Everyone," Jiang Tian said, walking up the nine steps to the dragon throne and sitting down. "Kneel down and receive my orders."
Upon hearing Jiang Tian's words, everyone knelt down without hesitation.
They knelt so smoothly, without the slightest hesitation.
Everyone knelt up straight, their bodies crammed with ears to listen to Jiang Tian's words.
