There's a reason why Luo Yuantai said that.
One month ago.
The United States has deployed troops to cause trouble on Dragon Island.
Dragon Island is part of the Great Xia territory, and the higher-ups naturally wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.
He immediately ordered Luo Yuantai to mobilize elite troops from across the country to Long Island to engage in fierce combat with the US military.
The battle is currently at a stalemate.
But at this critical juncture, Cao Meng betrayed them.
This is clearly a conspiracy by the United States.
The outcome of the war on Dragon Island was irrelevant to them.
Their main objective was to lure the elite troops of the Great Xia to the capital, leaving the capital city with a depleted military presence.
Cao Meng was able to take advantage of the situation and launch a surprise attack on Longdu.
Conquer the heart of the Great Xia.
Once Great Xia falls, it means the entire Great Xia Kingdom will fall and become a colony of the United States.
The faces of the high-ranking officials from the Ministry of War present were all very grim.
They are not fools.
They quickly realized the seriousness of the problem.
Luo Yuantai frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Besides deploying 5,000 troops to guard the nine city gates, the Kyoto war zone only has less than 2,000 men left."
"The elite forces from the surrounding war zones have all been transferred to Dragon Island, and they simply cannot return in time."
Chen Yuanlei said from the side.
"The troops from Langya Prefecture haven't moved yet; quickly transfer them here to guard the capital."
Now, people are no longer thinking about going to Haidong to wipe out Cao Meng.
Instead, they considered how to protect Kyoto.
After all, how could a mere two thousand men fight against an army of one hundred thousand?
One spit from each of them could drown them.
Xue Jianfeng said dismissively.
"You make it sound so easy."
"Langya Prefecture is 600 kilometers away from the capital. It will take time to mobilize troops. It will take at least the day after tomorrow for them to arrive."
"Cao Meng was obviously well-prepared beforehand; it wouldn't take him more than half a day to attack from Haidong."
Chen Yuanlei shrugged.
"But we can't just sit here and wait to die."
When Cao Meng's army truly besieges the city, they simply won't be able to stop him with their limited forces.
A sense of panic instantly spread.
All eyes were on Luo Yuantai, waiting for him to make a decision.
Luo Yuantai remained calm and composed, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke.
"Now, only the Dragon Soul Hall can save Kyoto."
"Immediately request reinforcements from the Dragon Soul War God."
His words have enlightened many people.
The Dragon Soul Hall represents the pinnacle of combat power in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Dragon Soul War Goddess is the only female War Goddess in the Great Xia Dynasty, ranking first among the four War Gods of the Great Xia Dynasty.
As long as she takes charge, she will surely be able to protect the capital and defeat Cao Meng's 100,000-strong army.
Chen Yuanlei said with a wry smile.
"Old Luo, have you forgotten that the Dragon Soul War God retired to Kunlun Mountain many years ago and no longer cares about worldly affairs?"
"We can't get in touch with them for the time being."
Luo Yuantai was taken aback; in his haste, he had completely forgotten about the matter.
"What should we do?"
The other three War Gods are all stationed on the border of the Great Xia Dynasty and are even less likely to come in the short term.
"Is Heaven going to destroy my Great Xia?!"
Luo Yuantai felt a sense of despair.
The people present were at a loss and, in their frustration, began to curse the United States.
"This move by the United States is too insidious."
"Damn it, at worst we old guys will put on our armor and fight Cao Meng to the bitter end."
"That's right, we will defend Kyoto to the death."
"We must not let the United States' conspiracy succeed."
"We swear to defend Kyoto to the death!"
Clang—
Suddenly, the door to the secret room was opened.
A slender figure burst in, it was Jiang Yinuo, who said in a carefree manner.
"What are you old guys yelling about? I heard it all from the doorway."
"A mere Cao Meng has managed to put you in such a sorry state. And you call yourself a big shot in the Ministry of War? What are we supposed to say about you?"
If it were anyone else, daring to criticize these big shots to their faces, they would have been dragged out and beaten to death long ago.
Jiang Yinuo was an exception.
Luo Yuantai's eyes lit up, as if he had remembered something.
"By the way, Yinuo, I remember you are the disciple of the Dragon Soul War God."
"You'll definitely be able to get in touch with her. Tell her to bring people over right away."
Several bigwigs nearby also seemed to grasp at straws and spoke up one after another.
"Yes, now that the country is in crisis, only the Dragon Soul War God can turn the tide."
"Yinuo, don't just stand there, quickly call your master."
"When the nation is in peril, every citizen has a responsibility."
"If the Great Xia Dynasty were to perish, with war raging everywhere, how could she possibly live in seclusion?"
Jiang Yinuo waved her hand, and after everyone quieted down, she spoke seriously.
"Gentlemen, I have already dispatched eight thousand elite troops from the Dragon Soul Hall to secretly protect Dragon Capital."
"As for the 100,000-strong army of the traitor Cao Meng, there are naturally people in Haidong to deal with it."
Luo Yuantai asked in confusion.
"who?"
Jiang Yinuo smiled.
"My junior brother, Ye Feng."
After saying that, he turned and left the secret room, making a point of passing by Luo Yuantai and taking the tiger tally from his body.
As the Minister of War, Luo Yuantai was in charge of all military forces within the Great Xia territory.
The tiger tally was specifically used for mobilizing troops.
Seeing the tiger tally is like seeing the Minister of War himself.
at the same time.
...
Haidong.
Cao Meng's 100,000-strong army was stationed in the open area by the river.
The camps stretched for dozens of miles, with banners fluttering and crowds thronging the area, exuding a palpable sense of menace.
If these soldiers dare to rush into the city, the entire Haidong City will fall instantly.
