This time was no exception.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, it would be fine if both sides spat at each other.

But this time, the scholars had made a big mess.

On the surface, it seemed like the officials in the imperial court had given up on the northwest and focused on building a line of defense at Dragon Crouching Pa.s.s and Futian Pa.s.s, but in reality, it was the emperor’s tacit approval.

This group of scholars pointed at this decree and started to curse.

Wouldn’t he be scolding the emperor?

The emperor naturally could not tolerate such an act of overstepping his authority.

Thus, the emperor, who would always pretend to be the referee in such situations, did not mediate in his rage. Instead, he allowed both sides to criticize him.

In this kind of situation, under the big week, the internal contradictions between the two intensified once again.

If it weren’t for the fact that the army of the capital region was still fighting outside, the n.o.bles who controlled the Great Zhou would probably have already turned against the scholars and the n.o.bles with different surnames behind them.

.0.

In Northern Glacier Town, the battle between the two sides was still ongoing.

At this moment, everyone, including Great Qin in the northwest and Great Qi in the northeast, was watching this battle.

There was no need to say much about Great Qin.

The Ninth Prince and Li Yueming had a close relations.h.i.+p. For a long time, Li Yueming had the upper hand in their exchanges.

Because Li Yueming had a very good relations.h.i.+p with the little fox, he controlled the vital point of the Qin country’s invasion into the Northern Lands. Due to the situation, the Ninth Prince had no choice but to lower his head.

Clearly, the State of Qin was many times stronger than Li Yueming, but they had always been restrained by Li Yueming.

This was undoubtedly very aggrieved for the State of Qin and the Ninth Prince.

The Great Zhou army attacking Northern Ice River Town was a once in a lifetime opportunity for Great Qin.

If Li Yueming couldn’t hold on, there were only a few people in Northern Ice River Town who could seek help.

Great Qin was one of the best choices.

When the time came, the Ninth Prince, who had gained the initiative, would definitely ask Li Yueming to give up the path to the snowy mountain and kick Li Yueming away completely.

As for the Northern Qi in the northeast, they had been reorganizing and trammg tnelr army ror tne past rew years.

Because for the past thousand years, the government had been focusing on maritime politics, and the land army had not had any conflicts with other countries for many years.

Now that Great Qi had obtained sufficient financial resources from the ocean, they had the intention of conquering the Central Plains. Naturally, they had to take this opportunity to take a good look at the strength of the armies of the other countries in the Central Plains so that they could formulate a feasible plan to dominate according to the actual situation.

Under normal circ.u.mstances.

It should be impossible for the northwest to resist the entire Great Zhou.

In fact, it is true.

All the people in the northwest and the central plains added up to only 10 to 20 million, while the Great Zhou had a population of nearly 100 million. The difference between the two sides was huge.

If the Star-Moon Army wanted to win this war, they definitely couldn’t resist it head-on. They had to come up with a plan.

Li Yue Ming naturally understood this logic.

Thus, in the second month of the battle, the Starmoon Army on the walls of Northern Ice River Town could not hold on any longer, and the alliance army was starting to get impatient because they could not take down the town for a long time.

Li Yueming sent out the most elite special forces of the Star Moon Army.

When building the city, Li Yueming had already considered a few plans after being attacked by the Great Zhou.

Now, it was at the stage where it could be implemented.

Under the cover of the night, 5,000 soldiers of the special forces left the city through a secret pa.s.sage and rushed to another secret horse breeding place of the Star Moon Army. They mounted the warhorses that had been prepared long ago and took a detour of more than 3,000 miles in the morning of the next day to attack the grain road of the allied army.

The dukes had quite a good control over their supplies, but the special forces were well-trained. Every one of them was a powerful cultivator. Under normal circ.u.mstances, such elite troops should have appeared on the battlefield to fight against the royal guards with military souls, not secretly running thousands of miles away to attack the supply routes of the allied forces.

But now, this army that did not care about martial ethics had appeared.

Therefore, the soldiers guarding the provisions of the feudal lords found that the strength of this mysterious army was much stronger than they had imagined. In just two short battles, the number of casualties under their command exceeded their imagination.

He could only throw away his armor and flee for his life.

They cut off the grain supply of the alliance army.

The special forces did not dare to stay for even a moment. They immediately rode their warhorses and headed towards a city called Ye.

Ye City was located to the south of North Binghe Town, and it was a place that the allied forces must pa.s.s through on their way to retreat. Now that the special forces were lying in ambush here, it was obvious what Li Yueming was planning.

After receiving the secret letter that the grain road was cut off.

The general of the alliance army punched the table, and the huge force shook the entire ground.

He raised his head and looked at the hazy city wall of Northern Ice River Town in the morning fog, then looked at the tired Tian Zi’s army behind him.

His rationality told him that the first thing he had to do after the Food Road was cut off was to withdraw his troops.

However, how awe-inspiring was he when he led the army from Dragon Conqueror Pa.s.s?

The emperor and the n.o.bles had high hopes for him. If he retreated without obtaining enough results, his career as a general would come to an end.

After returning to the pa.s.s, he could already burn incense and wors.h.i.+p Buddha without being punished.

During this period of fierce attacks, the city wall of Northern Ice River Town had been cut off by more than ten inches. The Star-Moon Army had also become an arrow at the end of its flight. Now, the rations in the United Army Camp could last for another month. He did not believe that they could not break through Northern Ice River Town in this month.

Even if there was really no other way, it would not affect the overall situation if they retreated in the middle of the month.

Thinking of this, the alliance army decided to continue attacking.

.0.

He looked down at the army that was charging at him like a tide.

Li Yueming revealed a smile. He was not afraid of the alliance army continuing to attack, but he was afraid of the alliance army retreating decisively.

Northern Glacier Town only had a population of less than a million people. Even if they could gather the strength of the people of the entire Northwest, they would only have less than ten million people.

It was absolutely impossible to fight against the Great Zhou with just this bit of strength.

Let me give you a simple example.

The Star-Moon Army had lost close to 100,000 soldiers in this war. If they wanted to replenish these soldiers, it would take 20 years for the population of Glacier Town in the north to recover. Even if they relaxed the recruitment authority of the army and recruited soldiers from all over the north, it would still take 10 years to recover their strength before the war.

However, the Great Zhou Empire was backed by the rich and vast Central Plains. Whether it was in terms of military strength or population, they were ten times more powerful than Northern Ice River Town. Similarly, if they were given ten years, not only would they be able to recover their strength, but they would also be able to reorganize a million strong army.

This was the difference between the two sides.

It was also why there were countries in ancient times who could defeat another country five or six times.

However, they only needed to lose once to directly destroy the country.

Therefore, Li Yueming didn’t just want to defeat the allied forces, he wanted to defeat them and obtain the greatest victory with the smallest price.

Only by hurting the Great Zhou and letting everyone in the world see the powerful combat strength of the Starmoon Troop and the fierce inner power of the Great Zhou could Northern Ice River Town be preserved and not be swallowed by endless wars.

Otherwise, Li Yueming’s only option would be to give up on North Glacier Town and escape into the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

They found that the alliance army had charged forward again.

A chiliarch of the Starmoon Troop stood on the high city wall and looked at the tired soldiers. He said,””Everyone, take a good look. Behind you is the home that we built brick by brick!”

Every household living in it is a Northland citizen who was affected by the war. Every single one of them is a fellow citizen of our Starmoon Troop…”

“Thanks to Great General Li, we refugees were able to survive and even learned how to read and write. It was also thanks to Great General Li that we joined the Star Moon Army and became a part of protecting our homeland in Northern Ice

River Town!”

“I don’t understand the righteous path of the king, nor do I understand what it means to be a traitor. The Zhou Dynasty labeled us as traitors, but they never considered that the people of the northwest had never had a good day under their rule!”

“General Li gave us the land to live on, the opportunities to study and work, and the hope to live a good life. Therefore, he is our second parent!”

General Li had already sent people to cut off the supply routes of the alliance army. In less than half a month, the Liang army would definitely be unable to withstand the pressure and retreat!”

“This is the final darkness before dawn. As long as we can hold on, victory will definitely belong to Northern Ice River Town and our Star-Moon Army!”
