Although the current emperor is not as wise as the founding emperor, he can still be regarded as running the country well. The memorials read every day are nothing more than some common things, or some are insignificant trivia. Early in the morning, the current emperor has just passed his forties and is still in good health. I originally thought that today would be the same as before, with several ministers reporting on the affairs and handling of the situation, but today was beyond Zhou Yuncong's expectation. As soon as he went to the morning court, he received urgent documents from four places.
Urgent documents were sent from Luocheng, Pingcheng and other four relatively marginal cities. Not only did he frown, he heard that there was a plague in Ancheng a few days ago. Could it be that the plague had spread? Zhou Yuncong immediately opened a document and couldn't help but gasped. The eunuch beside him was also shocked by the sudden tense atmosphere and couldn't help but quietly took a step back.
The words written on the document are really scary. Luocheng said that Ancheng was not plagued by a plague, but was occupied by a group of heavily armed black troops. All the people in Ancheng had been slaughtered, and the person who got the news was someone not far from Ancheng. The daughter of the founding hero of the Yu family brought it, saying that the Yu family village was also destroyed. Luo City also urgently needs troops from Yancheng to support them to ensure peace.
The emperor first thought he was asleep, and then opened three other emergency documents. They all said that the small town attached to him was occupied by unknown troops and needed support. Or they say that their city has been besieged and they continue to rescue. One of them was even stained with blood.
Zhou Yuncong thought. The country he governs is relatively peaceful and there are few unrests. How could an army suddenly rebel? Now the four edge cities have all been occupied, and he doesn't even know it. He is extremely anxious. He hurriedly issued a decree and asked the ministers in charge of military power to send troops to support border defense.
The country, which had never been exposed to war since its founding, fell into chaos for a while. The entire court was dealing with various affairs in a tense atmosphere, because the soldiers had not been trained for a long time, and only a thousand people could be dispatched at the moment. Excluding those who guard the main city, there are only less than 500 people who can be sent to support.
And the number of black troops reported in the letter often exceeds 300 people. At that time, all the major cities of the Ministry of War were in dire straits and could only assign a hundred people to various cities to support them. They were only allowed to defend and were not allowed to leave the city. The journey to the edge city would take four days, let alone an army? Even if we rush every day, we may not be able to reach it in a short time.
Zhou Congyun suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and the country that his ancestors had finally conquered began to fight again. The previous founding ministers were also brutally wiped out. The current team members are all talented people who can write poems in seven steps, but they know nothing about war. Facing the sudden enemy, no one could come up with a clever strategy for fighting the enemy. They could only scratch their heads and think about solutions. The hastily organized army did not look like they had any combat effectiveness. Each one of them looked like a puppet holding a weapon, lifeless. How can such an army defend the foundation created by its ancestors, Zhou Congyun thought. He couldn't help but sigh. He could only pray for God's help or God's mercy.
But the black-armored people mentioned in the documents are exactly the opposite of the current imperial court. Every city they occupy is strictly controlled, and production is operated through captured slaves. Everything was taken care of in an orderly manner. The only difference was that every city gate was tightly closed, and well-trained soldiers guarded it all day long, strategizing for the next invasion.
General Heiyu has been brooding since he received the news that several of Lin Yuanwai's subordinates, Lin Yuanwai, failed and died in Luo City. The captain who died was considered an elite, but he died so easily at the hands of others. He felt very uncomfortable. . And even if he can easily capture Anjo, Luocheng's defense is indeed a level higher than Anjo, and now Luocheng also has defenses. He only has about 300 fighting men under his command. Although he can win by storm, there will definitely be a lot of casualties, and he will have to leave people to manage Anjo. Anseong lost all production capacity directly after a night of massacre, and everything was in ruins. Although Black Feather thought in his heart that by conquering Luo City as soon as possible, he could get the beauty and even everything he wanted. But how can the current situation allow him to act recklessly?
He could only write a letter about the current situation and send it to his lord. Wait for the next command.
The battle between the two sides is finally about to begin, and everything is being prepared. Yancheng was also shrouded in dark clouds, and the peaceful and prosperous age that had lasted for less than a hundred years also began to have disputes.
