The Qin army's tactics made Shang State feel very helpless and uncomfortable.
With the defeat on the Yunshan battlefield, their prestige had declined to the lowest point, and the conquered territories surrendered in response, spreading like a raging fire that could not be contained.
The downfall of a country often begins at this time.
However, facing the Qin army's fighting style, there was nothing they could do for a while.
The vast empire is now on the verge of collapse.
In the court of Shang State.
The ministers stood tall.
Before this, they had never thought that they would be defeated, and defeated so miserably, destroying so much of their foundation and putting the empire in a crisis.
"Your Majesty, in just a few months, the Qin army invaded with unstoppable force and ferocity. A large amount of our territory was captured by the Qin army, and rebellion was raised in every part of our country!"
An old man said sadly and angrily.
In the decades since they had achieved enlightenment, they had never suffered such a devastating defeat.
The Black Tiger Army was destroyed, and the Wild Wind Army was destroyed!
It's so miserable.
Their moods were all in a mess.
"If the Qin army continues to attack with this momentum, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
"Hmph, we only lost the conquered territory. Our homeland is still stable. Those people had no loyalty to our country in the first place. At that time, we should all be slaughtered!"
A fierce general said viciously.
"Your Majesty, it's too late to say these things. We cannot allow the Qin army to continue like this. Otherwise, our country will fall, we will be cursed by our people, and our national fortune will decline. We should attack and have a decisive battle with the Qin army!"
Someone yelled.
But the decisive battle.
Some people also have bitterness on their faces.
This is not easy to fight.
Yunshan, the Qin army has proven their strength. Even if they mobilized the entire country's troops, they still suffered heavy losses.
If they had not retreated quickly, the losses would have been more than just the Gale Army.
"Your Majesty, the Qin army attacked another place yesterday. Many city lords and guards were killed by the rebels and handed over to the Qin State!"
The current situation has deteriorated to this point.
In the conquered areas, as long as the Qin army arrived, they would not need to take action themselves, as someone would willingly surrender the city.
There is no greater defeat than this.
"Your Majesty, the situation is now clear. The Qin army is adopting a siege tactic. They haven't attacked our homeland yet, but instead have taken over all our conquered territories. This tactic is too vicious!"
Seeing the Qin army's tactics, they felt unhappy.
They would rather Qin sent troops directly into their homeland, which would be easier.
"Your Majesty, at the speed of the Qin army, all conquered territories will be lost soon. By then, they will surround our homeland. Our country...our country may be in danger of extinction!"
A court official said in grief and anger!
It feels like heaven has fallen into hell. This day has come too quickly.
The strength of Qin State far exceeded their expectations.
"Our Great Shang nation has been through many trials and tribulations for thousands of years. We've encountered everything, even crises that threatened national destruction. But we've managed to persevere and become even stronger each time!"
An old minister in the court shouted.
Shang Guo also experienced many failures, but he persevered with a fearless heart.
It was like this before and it is like this now!
They are not afraid!
"Qin is stalling for time."
Lin Ye suddenly said.
His words made everyone's eyes flash.
"It may seem like a swift attack, but fighting outside our homeland is actually buying time. The Battle of Yunshan was a victory, but the Qin army also suffered heavy casualties. This method can, on the one hand, break the morale of our army, and on the other hand, buy time to replenish our forces from home."
Lin Ye saw through the Qin army's plan.
As expected of a great general guarding the nation, he has a vicious look in his eyes.
Bai Qi and Wang Jian really had this idea.
In the battle of Yunshan, many elite soldiers were lost and needed to be replenished.
A bloody battle gave many people in the army insights, and they are now practicing to achieve breakthroughs.
After the battle of Yunshan, Zhao Xin had reached the ninth level of Tongtian. Ying Xuan directly gave him the Tianwei Golden Pill to help him break through to the first level of Tianwei.
Wang Jian, Meng Tian and Li Xin also made a breakthrough.
The Mad Fighting Commander has also reached the ninth level of Tongtian. After going berserk, he has the strength to fight against the Heavenly Rank in just five minutes.
The other powerful men of Qin State made even more breakthroughs.
After all, only in bloody battles can one elevate oneself.
Their breakthrough was achieved by stepping on countless corpses.
"Your Majesty, should we attack or defend the Imperial City? Your Majesty, please decide!"
"Your Majesty, please make the decision!"
The ministers said.
Emperor Shang looked extremely cold.
He knew that by holding on to the Imperial City, he would have the greatest advantage with the help of the Imperial City.
But at the same time, the side effects are also huge. He will lose all territories except the imperial city, and countless people will no longer belong to him, and his confidence will drop to the lowest level.
It is even harder to have a chance of a comeback.
After all, being surrounded is like being locked up!
If we attack, we will give up our greatest advantage, but we can also mobilize the morale of the army to the strongest level.
"The strength of a nation is like a feathered wing. If you don't advance, you will die. There is no other choice."
Emperor Shang finally made his decision: "The Battle of Yunshan is a tragedy for my Great Shang, and even more of a disgrace. There is only one way to wash away this shame, and that is war, to wash it away with the blood of the enemy. The Great Shang has been established for thousands of years, and has faced numerous crises, but the Shang people have proved with their bravery that Shang will not perish!"
All the staff were solemn.
"Pass on my order: this place will be the site of the final battle with the Qin army!"
"Mobilize all the troops in the country, and return all the garrisons to Shang. All the strong men in the country, whether they are in the army or not, as long as they are Shang people, will be mobilized."
"Recruit all the people who can fight and fight to the death!"
Emperor Shang has made the decision to take the initiative and attack; he will not defend the city!
Yunshan was defeated, but it was not to the point where the troops surrounded the capital.
