Frostwest Empire!
Under the full-scale attack of Great Liang, the entire Frostwest Empire was engulfed in war, and a massive amount of news came back Tiandu, but most of it was news of defeat.
"Report! Huo Qubing is launching a fierce attack on Songyu City, and we can no longer hold him off!"
"Report! Xue Rengui has killed the northern general A Tao, and the general is marching straight towards our capital. Now, Lord Ashley's army of 300,000 is reduced to just over 100,000."
"Report! On the southern front, our army has encountered the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under Great Liang Ma Chao. We are outmatched and have suffered heavy losses."
"Report! Great Wind Mountain has been attacked by Chen Dao Great Liang Jiang Wei of the Liang Dynasty. Although our army fought desperately, we still suffered heavy losses."
"Report! The Thorn Peak has encountered Ran Min's Qihuo Army from the Great Liang. The enemy launched a lightning attack on our camp, and our entire army was wiped out, with no survivors!"
"Report..."
One bad news after another came in, and there wasn't a single good one, which drove Ashina Tiandu.
It was one thing for his Nishu to be defeated before, but at least he continued to resist. Now that he was suffering defeats everywhere, he could no longer sit still.
He kicked the messenger away, angrily shouting, "You old codger! I refuse to believe that my million-strong army on the eastern front has not brought a single piece of good news. Are they all incompetent idiots?"
That's impossible!
That's absolutely impossible!
How could it possibly be a one-sided battlefield? Even if things are bad on our side, there must be some good news, right?
His gaze swept across the entire area, a hint of hysteria in his eyes, as he roared, "Speak! My Frostwest Empire is a superpower, boasting an army of over three million. How could we possibly be driven into a state of constant retreat?"
"Has he, Nishu, lived up to my expectations? Has he lived up to the hopes of the people of Frostwest? How could he be so easily defeated?"
Forehead!
The ministers below were speechless. They hadn't expected the front lines to collapse so quickly and so decisively; they had been easily crushed by the enemy.
But if we're really talking about the strange Nishu, it doesn't seem like he can be blamed for it.
" Zela, you speak!"
Ashina Tiandu looked at Zela from the intelligence department that day and roared.
He couldn't accept that the fortress had been breached so easily after spending so much money on it, and he even felt that Nishu had already betrayed him and become a traitor to Frostwest.
Zela stiffened, and said bitterly, "Your Majesty, this really can't be Nishu."
"What's the meaning?"
Ashina Tiandu's eyes instantly turned hostile. "So, you've betrayed us too, haven't you?"
"His Majesty!"
"This attack was personally overseen by Lin Rusong, the retired emperor of the Great Liang, who led a total of two million troops in five routes to attack the border of our empire."
"The enemy possesses siege weapons such as Red-Coat Cannon and catapults, which can attack our city walls from extremely long distances and directly destroy our fortifications, causing us extremely heavy losses."
"Besides that, Great Liang also has a weapon that can instantly destroy our fortress, which is why General Nishu was forced to retreat the defensive line."
The Emperor Emeritus has arrived in person!
Two million troops!
Five routes of attack on Great Liang!
Red-Coat Cannon?
What destroyed the fortress?
Upon hearing Zela's words, everyone's pupils constricted, terrified by the horrifying news, and cold sweat poured down their backs.
I thought Great Liang's attack was nothing special, at least they could hold them off. But now, hearing this situation, it's a complete catastrophe.
"This..."
"No wonder the Nishu couldn't hold out; the enemy could actually destroy the fortress. What is that thing?"
"How could the Great Liang be so powerful, possessing such terrifying weapons? Heaven is being far too unfair!"
" Great Liang! They're practically imperialist powers, how dare they bully us Westerners like this!"
The court officials were immediately alarmed. The enemy's arrival with such a large force clearly indicated their intention to take over the Frostwest Empire.
Two million troops is one thing, but the key is that the enemy also has such advanced weaponry that they can even destroy fortresses. Who can stop them?
"Even a fortress can be destroyed instantly?"
Ashina Tiandu; he was also shocked by the news. What the hell was this weapon? Could it be the legendary world-destroying weapon?
In this way, the Great Liang will be unable to withstand the onslaught.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't there even a sliver of good news? Didn't Xiuli go to Great Liang? Didn't Anne tell Lin Yi what I meant?"
He found it hard to accept. He had already hinted so clearly, even agreeing to acknowledge Princess Anne's right to the throne, yet the other side still wanted to attack him. This was simply outrageous.
"Uh..." Zela's face stiffened at this point, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Explain!"
Seeing his hesitation, Ashina Tiandu.
Zela said bitterly, "Your Majesty, news has come from the front that Xiuli is also among the enemy troops, but it seems he's guiding them and has even persuaded many of our men to surrender!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Ashina Tiandu's face turned green instantly. He rushed to Zela, grabbed his collar, and angrily said, "You're saying he not only led the enemy to their doom, but also advised our people to defect to Great Liang?"
"Yes!"
"Holy shit!"
Ashina Tiandu, immediately starting to curse.
That Xiuli, he's a real bastard!
This scoundrel, as the prince of Frostwest, not only betrayed the Great Liang dynasty but also openly led them on their way. He is simply a traitor to the country!
puff!
He spat out a mouthful of blood and almost fainted, but Zela caught him.
Ashina Tiandu, and his mind raced.
The situation is too dangerous now.
It's one thing for Great Liang to make a move, but Huo Qubing and Xue Rengui are also advancing frantically on the other side. Frostwest is in a dire situation!
He gritted his teeth and said, "Is there any news from the Great West Empire and the Moses Empire? Weren't they supposed to send troops to support us? Why haven't we heard anything yet?"
His face was extremely grim; if these two countries didn't intervene soon, his side might truly be doomed.
"Your Majesty, the Great West Empire has sent 300,000 troops, who have already entered the Xiling Corridor, but it seems that the people from the Moses Empire have not yet arrived," Zela said in a deep voice.
"Not here yet?"
Ashina Tiandu. The people from the Great West Empire had arrived long ago, after all, they were also worried that the Great Liang would invade the Great West Empire through the Xiling Corridor. But what was the situation with this Moses Empire? Why hadn't they made a move yet?
He said in a deep voice, "Send people to continue contacting them, at least to get them to attack Huo Qubing and reduce the pressure on our western front. If they anger me, don't blame me for being uncivilized!"
"Yes!"
Zela sighed, but didn't say much, and could only accept the task.
To be honest, he was pessimistic about this war. The Great Liang was coming with the force of Mount Tai, and it was not so easy to withstand.
