Chapter 475: Advance into the Grassland
For a while.
The whole street seemed to have fallen silent.
From Prince of Yan Zhu Di to ordinary people, everyone was shocked by the scene before them.
Immediately, they knelt down and said one after another:
"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable!"
"Your Majesty, you are embarrassing me..."
“…”
Ying Yuan can come here to see them.
These people who have suffered from the ravages of war are already satisfied.
Nothing more to ask for.
"Your Majesty, please get up quickly..."
Zhu Di said this.
Suddenly, the sky changed drastically.
The sky was originally full of shining stars.
Suddenly it was covered by a huge black cloud.
In an instant, it rained heavily.
The Qin Emperor knelt down, and heaven and earth mourned together.
-----------------
Early November of the fifth year of Taichu.
All the Qin territory occupied by the grassland was recovered.
At the beginning of the same month, Qin Hui began to preside over the post-war reconstruction work in the northern region of the Qin Dynasty.
In the middle of the same month, Ying Yuan decided to lead 300,000 cavalry into the grassland to avenge the previous humiliation.
This plan was blocked by Yue Fei, Zhu Di and others.
"Your Majesty, winter is about to arrive. It is not suitable for marching now. Moreover, the grassland is vast. It will be difficult for us to find the enemy on the vast grassland."
"My soldiers are used to fighting on the land of China. Once we advance into the grasslands, and into the cold winter weather, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to adapt!"
"Your Majesty, it won't be too late to go conquer the grasslands after the spring!"
“…”
If it were the previous one, the foolish Ying Yuan who only wanted the kingdom.
You may stick to your opinion without hesitation.
Marching in the cold winter.
But now.
Firstly, he wanted to clean up the grassland.
Secondly, after going through many things, my mentality has changed quietly.
Therefore, he rarely agreed with the opinions of a group of generals and decided to march in early spring.
The battle in Yan State also came to a temporary halt as heavy snow blocked the roads.
It is worth mentioning.
The battle between Luo Cheng and Zhao Yun lasted for three days and three nights.
In the end, Zhao Yun narrowly won and seriously injured Luo Cheng.
Later, the Yan army soldiers who followed Luo Cheng into battle engaged in a fierce battle with the Qin army.
Luo Cheng, whose physical strength was almost exhausted, dragged his seriously injured body and killed many Qin soldiers.
However, as Zhao Yun's side was in high spirits, Luo Cheng's army was eventually annihilated.
Seeing this, Li Jing became even more determined to defend the city and decided to hang up the banner of no fighting.
In fact, even if Luo Cheng’s entire army was wiped out, he would not have to die.
However, Luo Cheng disobeyed military orders first and was defeated by the enemy later.
Li Jing did not dare to open the city gate and risk the Qin army taking advantage of the situation.
As a result, Luo Cheng was shot to death by a volley of arrows.
A few days later.
The morale of the Yan army hit rock bottom.
Even the defenders suffered an astonishing casualty ratio of two to one when fighting against the Qin army.
Li Jing planned to break out after the spring.
Except for the battle outside Muye Pass.
Dong Zhuo has won a great victory.
Li Xiaogong died on the battlefield.
completely annihilated.
Afterwards, Dong Zhuo's army advanced towards Qizhou, intending to join forces with Bai Qi and others to confront Yan Emperor Li Shimin together.
The death of Li Xiaogong was a heavy blow to the State of Yan.
This means that, except for Li Jing's side, all the border cities of Yan State near Jin territory have fallen into the hands of Qin State.
The battle has been going on for so long that even if Qin chooses to hoard troops and defend instead of advancing, it is still a gain.
Moreover, Yan’s enemies were not only Qin, but also Qi.
Although Dafeng is targeting Qi State.
There was also back-and-forth fighting between the two countries.
But after all, the battle was fought on the homeland of Yan State.
The losses caused to the State of Yan were also immeasurable.
That's it.
With the arrival of winter, all countries temporarily stopped fighting.
This also gave the State of Yan some breathing space.
But everyone knew that the so-called temporary cessation of the attack was just the calm before the storm.
...
At this moment, in Xianyang City, inside the Xuanzheng Hall.
Ying Yuan was looking at a memorial.
In front of him stood the six ministries and their respective officials.
They didn't even dare to breathe in front of Ying Yuan.
I don’t know how long it took.
Ying Yuan sighed, "The number of casualties in the war between the grasslands and the Qin Empire has reached 800,000..."
"I know in my heart that this is just an approximate number."
"The number of soldiers and civilians killed in Youzhou City alone reached hundreds of thousands..."
"The actual number is probably even more exaggerated than the figures in the memorial."
"It can be said without a doubt that this battle was the most devastating in terms of casualties in the Great Qin since the fifth year of Chengping."
After hearing this, all the officials fell silent.
Now that things have come to this, what can the officials do?
"I heard that Xu Huang and the Liangshan navy will be back in a few days."
"Give this navy some training."
"After the New Year, at the beginning of spring, I will personally lead an army of 600,000 and make the foreign race pay with blood!"
Ying Yuan wanted to make the alien army pay the price.
Rather than people of other races.
Because from the perspective of the rulers, people of other ethnic groups are also people.
After all, the distance between alien races and China is actually not that far.
The alien race is not like the Sakura Country.
