The other officials all had rather solemn expressions, after all, they understood the significance of six million troops; it was no joke.
Although the Moses Empire claimed to have an army of several million, it certainly did not have six million troops in reality, and there were still three million troops stationed abroad, which means that there were only a little over one million troops on the mainland.
Previously, in order to fight against Lü Bu and others, the Moses Empire had already conscripted a large number of soldiers. If they wanted to withstand the six million troops of the Great Liang Empire, they would probably have to conscript again.
It can only be said that a storm is brewing, and the empire is in crisis.
Moshili Chaer took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Now we can only hope that things go smoothly with Yize, otherwise it will be a nightmare for us."
Yize commands an army of three million; let's hope everything goes well for him.
If something were to happen to him, the loss to the empire would be enormous, with millions of troops lost at once—something the Moses Empire could not accept.
"It shouldn't be a big problem. Yize is a smart man; he knows when to back down and won't fight to the death with the other side," Adolf Kaka said in a deep voice.
He was a naval commander, and even if the army of the Great Liang Empire encountered him at sea, they wouldn't be able to completely subdue him, so there shouldn't be much of a problem.
On the contrary, we can take advantage of this opportunity to wait for Yize and the others to return, and then they can join forces to attack Lü Bu and his group, which would be much more effective.
After all, when attacked from both sides, even if the opponent is very strong, they have nowhere to retreat. In this situation, it becomes much easier to attack the opponent.
Emperor Moshili's eyes lit up. Adolf's suggestion was indeed excellent. If they could attack the enemy from both sides, the enemy cavalry wouldn't be able to move at all.
Once the opponent can no longer run, they will be completely surrounded by their own people and eventually swallowed whole.
Thinking of this, he began to mobilize troops to drive Lü Bu and his men to the edge of the area, waiting for an opportunity to attack from both sides, and also giving the cavalry time to react.
After doing all this, he was originally waiting for news from Yize and the others, waiting for them to join forces with him to attack the enemy, but unfortunately, he ended up thinking too much.
A sudden message arrived like a bolt from the blue, turning Emperor Moshili's face deathly pale, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.
"What did you say? Yize's three million-strong army was completely wiped out at sea?"
This news nearly killed him on the spot. The annihilation of an army of three million was no joke; it meant that the Moses Empire's years of accumulation had vanished in an instant.
With over three million soldiers killed in a single battle, the Moses Empire was effectively halved in strength, and the remaining army was far less effective than its former troops.
Even with the hasty mobilization of millions of troops, their fighting strength was far inferior to what it used to be. This attack had truly struck at the lifeline of the Moses Empire.
"What? The entire front line has been wiped out?"
Upon hearing this, Adolf Dakaka and the others turned deathly pale, even showing a hint of panic.
They knew better than anyone that these three million soldiers came from the core of the Moses Empire, and it was precisely because of them that the Moses Empire was able to sweep away everything. Now that all three million soldiers had been killed in battle, this was absolutely the most terrible news in the world.
Without its three million troops, the Moses Empire was like a warship without oars, suddenly losing all its power.
It seems that from now on, the Moses Empire will never be able to turn the tide. Its only chance is not to defeat the Great Liang Empire Great Liang Empire, but simply not to be defeated by it.
In other words, the Moses Empire was no longer capable of attacking; its offensive could only be a passive resistance.
If the Great Liang Empire launches a full-scale attack, it's questionable whether they can withstand it. In this situation, they face a major dilemma: should they continue down the same path as the Moses Empire?
This is going to be difficult!
Moshili Chaer said with a grim face, "How could this be? Ours is the most advanced in the world. How could more than three million of our people have been wiped out? Are you sure this news is true?"
If you can't win, you can run away. How could they all be wiped out? This information is clearly incorrect.
Could it be that the Great Liang Empire's sabotage allowed someone to infiltrate their intelligence network and spread false information?
Ashan shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, this news is probably true, because according to the news, the other side has developed a super powerful warship, which is actually an ironclad warship, and its speed is twice that of our ordinary warships."
Our warships couldn't escape their pursuit and were completely destroyed in the ocean.
To be honest, when he received this information, he was also incredibly shocked and initially thought it was fake news.
However, after carefully verifying several pieces of information, he knew that there was no problem with the news. The Great Liang Empire had indeed invented such a terrifying weapon, making the Great Liang Empire so powerful that it was unacceptable.
Especially in the ocean, the strength of the Great Liang Empire is probably unprecedented and unmatched in the All Under Heaven.
Based on the descriptions of ironclad warships and cannons in the intelligence, such a combined offensive and defensive force is beyond the capabilities of the Moses Empire.
The Moses Empire already possesses the most advanced army in the world, yet it couldn't stop the Great Liang Empire's offensive, let alone other countries. The Great Liang is probably All Under Heaven.
"Ironclad warships?"
Upon hearing this news, everyone found it unbelievable. Who could have imagined that an ironclad warship could float on water? It was simply outrageous.
If this news is true, then the strength of the Great Liang Empire is probably far beyond their imagination.
With a speed more than twice that of their own warships, it's no wonder that Yize and his men didn't even have a chance to escape; the difference in speed was simply too great.
However, there is also a most serious problem: their own three million-strong army has truly been wiped out, which is absolutely devastating news.
An elder couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "Don't think that just because we've suffered such heavy losses, we need to replenish our army. Otherwise, we simply can't stop the Great Liang Empire's attack."
Moshili Chaer nodded slightly, but he had another worry in his heart that he did not voice.
Since the Great Liang Empire has defeated their army, it means that the Xinma Empire is likely among them. Their army is probably not just six million, but a staggering seven or even eight million, which is truly terrifying.
This enormous number is enough to make one's scalp crawl.
