Liang Junhao led the troops of the Duke of Zhenguo and the Marquis of Chang'an to attack the Japanese troops stationed in Nanzhou County.
"Your Highness, everything has been prepared as you requested. We are just waiting for your order." Qinglong said to Liang Junhao.
"Give the order immediately and let them attack!" Liang Junhao gave the order immediately.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Qinglong immediately went to convey the order after receiving it.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered everyone to attack according to the plan!" Qinglong went to issue orders, asking the large army to attack according to the agreed plan and eliminate the Japanese soldiers.
So, the soldiers of Qingxuan Kingdom began to attack, using fire, catapults, hammers to break down the doors, and bows and crossbows, but the effects were not very good.
They were unwilling to open the city gates to fight, and the Qingxuan Kingdom was unable to invade Nanzhou County.
Liang Junhao had no choice but to resort to harassment, sneaking around outside the city gates every day, shouting, and insulting them, hoping to provoke the other party, causing them to lose control of their minds and open the city gates to fight them.
The gates of Nanzhou City were built very solidly. The imperial court originally built Nanzhou County and Tonghua County to be as strong as a rock because it was afraid of attacks from other countries.
Nanzhou County and Tonghua County are a barrier to protect Qingxuan Kingdom.
If the county magistrate had not opened the city gate, the Japanese would never have been able to capture the city so easily.
If they hold on to the end, they can wait until the imperial court sends troops to support them.
All I can say is that the magistrate of Nanzhou County only cared about his own future, wealth and glory, and didn't care about the lives of the people. Such a person should be executed by being torn apart by a chariot.
Only a few generals and soldiers from Britain and the United States escaped back to Britain and the United States.
Of course, they were sent back intentionally. The purpose was that they would tell their king what they had experienced. Their king would know that the reason they lost soldiers was that they angered the gods, and the gods would punish them. Their king would not send troops to attack Qingxuan Kingdom again, and might even make them resent Wa Kingdom.
If they were all killed on the road, it would surely anger their king, who would send a large army to attack Qingxuan State, and then we would be surrounded by enemies on three sides.
This method was come up by Yang Youxue after careful consideration.
I feel that the only way to break up the alliance is to dismantle them and have a chance of survival.
Just as Yang Youxue had expected, the British emperor knew that it was their attack on Qingxuan Kingdom that angered the gods. The gods sent down thunderbolts from heaven, killing all his soldiers. He was so frightened that he sat on the dragon throne, trembling with his voice, fearing that the gods would punish him and send down thunderbolts to blow up the palace.
His Highness's ministers were also terrified, fearing that the gods would punish them and that they would end up being blown to death.
The British people knew that it was their king who had rashly sent troops and angered the gods, who then sent down thunderbolts from the sky, killing those soldiers in vain.
Especially the families of the soldiers, they went to the palace gate every day and made noise every day, giving the emperor a headache.
In order to appease the public grievances, the emperor had no choice but to execute the nine clans of several ministers who advocated reaching a consensus with Japan.
The situation in the United States was similar to that in Britain. A rebellion nearly broke out, and the Emperor of the United States had no choice but to execute the entire clan of the ministers who were scapegoats and promise never to interfere in Japan again. This was the only way to quell public resentment and resolve the crisis.
When the Emperor of Japan found out, he was very scared. He didn't know if he had really angered the gods.
If it is true, what punishment will he receive?
If it was a trick of Qingxuan Kingdom, his army in Qingxuan Kingdom would probably be wiped out.
The Emperor of Japan consulted several military ministers to discuss whether to send troops to support. The armies of the United States and Britain were basically wiped out, and they were unwilling to send troops to attack Qingxuan. His 100,000-strong army alone was simply unable to compete with Qingxuan.
"Your Majesty, I think we should send another 200,000 troops to support us. Even if we cannot capture Qingxuan Kingdom, we must bring them back safely." A minister suggested.
His son is in Qingxuan Kingdom, and he must ask the emperor to send troops to support and rescue his son.
"Your Majesty, I feel this is inappropriate.
The United States and Britain are unwilling to send more troops. It is impossible for our soldiers alone to defeat the Qingxuan Kingdom. Don't forget that their Crown Prince is the God of War, who is feared by everyone. His strategy and courage are unmatched.
Moreover, it is not known whether the punishment of angering the gods and sending thunder from the sky is real or fake.
If that were true, sending another 200,000 troops would be sending them to their deaths. Furthermore, if we send another 200,000 troops, we would only have 200,000 soldiers left.
"If the United States, Britain, or any other country sends troops to attack us, we will be completely unable to resist and will be defeated and become slaves." Another minister, the previous minister's sworn enemy, objected.
If the emperor sent troops to support, his son would be among them, and he would not let his son die in vain.
"Your Majesty, I beg you to send troops to support me!"
"Your Majesty, I do not agree to send troops to support you. We must not give other countries an opportunity to take advantage of you."
"I second the motion not to send troops to support!"
"Your Majesty, I will also follow the etiquette and not send any troops to support you!"
"Your Majesty, that's a hundred thousand troops!
We cannot let them die in vain, we cannot let the soldiers' hearts falter, and the Emperor cannot abandon them!"
"Sending two hundred thousand soldiers to die won't chill the hearts of these two hundred thousand soldiers? What's your intention?"
The Japanese military ministers responded tit for tat, saying, "You don't let me, I don't let you." This gave the emperor even more headaches and he was furious.
"Okay, I've decided not to send any more troops to support them. Let them find a way to withdraw.
If they can return safely, I will give them promotions and honors." The emperor pressed his aching head and issued an imperial decree.
