Zhang Chao, the emperor of the Celestial Empire, who had secretly rushed to Hai Paolan, was quietly watching all the information about the war sent by the Heavenly Eye in the city lord's mansion at the moment.

More than two months ago, Zhang Chao had secretly ordered a large army to be dispatched to the north.

This time, Zhang Chao mobilized a full nine legions to the north, and what he did was to destroy the Rus Kingdom in a battle.

The current Celestial Empire, even if the new Jiangdong Legion is added, it is only worthy of thirteen legions, but this time, except for the three legions left in the Western Regions and the waterway legion left in the Xiaowei Kingdom, the main forces of the other legions have been sent to the north, which is for him to completely solve this cancer.

It's just that what Zhang Chao didn't expect was that the strength of the Rus Kingdom also attracted the peeps of the Xianbei, Xiongnu and Qiang people.

"Good, good." Seeing that these enemies who had not shown up for a long time also appeared one by one, Zhang Chao's face did not have a trace of worry and fear, on the contrary, he still had a smile on his face, as if he had encountered something happy.

No one can understand Zhang Chao's current thoughts, it's just that it's better for the emperor to be happy than to be serious, and the other people around him are also laughing.

"Let them jump, the more they jump, the better, this time we will get rid of them once and for all, and save ourselves the effort to find them later." In this way, order the other legions that have not yet reached Haipaolan to change the goal of their advance, first find the main force of the Huns, and destroy them. Zhang Chaojun waved and said magnificently.

With the strength of nearly five million troops in nine legions, in addition to solving the alliance of the three kingdoms of Rus, he also has the strength to destroy the Xiongnu and other ethnic minorities, which is where Zhang Chao's confidence comes from.

"Your Majesty, are we going to change our plans?" Hearing this, Zhang Chao's appetite suddenly increased, and Xu Shu, who followed the Fifth Legion Legion beside him, spoke softly.

"Don't change. Hybolan is the last bastion, and if we lose it all, it will be a big blow to morale, and we must not do it. Zhang Chao waved his hand and vetoed the intention of changing the battle plan.

The meaning of the sentence "Defeated like a mountain" is clearer than anyone. If you really lose Hypaolan, it will inevitably shake the morale of the army, if there is a problem with the morale of the army because of this, once the defeat is caused, then the joke will be bigger, even if you want to fight back, I am afraid that it will not be as sharp as before.

If you don't change your plan, that is, you won't be transferring troops to Hai Paulan, then there are only the Fifth Army and the Eighth Army that retreated back in the city today, and the total strength is only more than 800,000 people, so it is obviously a little difficult to block the advance of the Rus coalition army.

Xu Shu put forward his own suggestion, which was also for Zhang Chao's safety, after all, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, which is also for the sake of the stability of the Celestial Empire. It's like, if Zhang Chao can take a step back and let go of Hai Paolan, then the danger will not exist.

Just when he made a suggestion, Xu Shu had already guessed Zhang Chao's decision, their emperor has always been not afraid of heaven and earth, just assassination does not know how many times he has encountered it, and all kinds of dangers have been experienced countless times, such a master will not back down easily. Sure enough, he guessed it.

It's just that in any case, as a strategist, Xu Shu should still make suggestions, which is also his duty.

Zhang Chao refused to increase troops in Xianghai Paolan, which was tantamount to putting himself in danger, but at the same time, it was also a trust in the Fifth and Eighth Legions, Xu Shu's military division and the legion commander Xu Huang on the side felt that at the same time as Rong Youyan, they also felt that the pressure was doubled, but their eyes showed a trace of excitement, this time it was indeed a little dangerous, but why not an opportunity? A chance to show off the power of the Five Legions?

At the end of June, Huang Zhong's headquarters of the Eighth Army Corps, which had been holding back the enemy for more than two months, finally could not stop the advance of the Rus' coalition army and retreated to the city of Haibaolan.

With the retreat of the Eighth Army Corps, the allied forces of Rus are also approaching the city, and a major war is inevitable.

"The rest is up to you." Zhang Chao looked at Xu Huang and Huang Zhong, the two army commanders on the side, nodded slightly, and then sat down on the dragon chair that had been prepared a long time ago.

Zhang Chao chose to sit on the top of the city, which is equivalent to cheering up all the soldiers of the two legions, and even the emperor is here to watch them fight? Where can't the soldiers fight with their lives?

"Everyone is ready for battle, we must not let the enemy rush to the tower, we must protect the emperor." Seeing Zhang Chao's seating, Xu Shu's army admired in his heart and shouted loudly.

"Protect the Emperor." For a while, the slogans came and went, and all the soldiers were as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they were excited, as if they had inexhaustible strength.

And under the city of Haibaolan, Anatoly had already seen the scene in the city, and when he saw Zhang Chao in person from a distance, there was a trace of fear in his eyes, and there was an inexplicable excitement in his eyes.

It was the man in the city who defeated him at the beginning and forced him to sign an unequal treaty to cede the land, and now, the enemy of life and death is in front of him, and now the situation has indeed changed, and he has become the strong side, so he naturally wants to reverse all the failures.

"Order the whole army to attack the city with all their might, but whoever can attack the city tower will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold, and the first person who can go to the city will be rewarded with 100,000 taels of gold, and those who can take the head of the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty will be rewarded with 100,000 taels of gold, and I will be named the general of the Rus Kingdom." Looking at Zhang Chao in the city, Anatoly was out of the way at this moment, he firmly believed that there would be brave men under the heavy reward, and he didn't believe that he could not win this war with his strength several times that of the enemy.

The king was ruthless and spent a lot of money, which immediately stimulated the Rus' coalition army, and everyone seemed to be staring at the castle tower of Haipaolan with bloodshot eyes, where there was a wealth that belonged to them all their lives.

Both sides gave the order to die, and a bloody battle was staged, one attack and one defense, and Hybalan soon became a bloody city, and with the launch of the war, both sides were angry on the first day, and invested no less than 50,000 troops, ending with more than 10,000 dead and wounded each.

Then, the situation intensified, and by the beginning of July, the total number of troops invested by both sides had reached more than 300,000, and the mortality rate of soldiers had also increased one after another.

The battle of Hai Paolan City has attracted the attention of countless people, and the emperor of the Celestial Empire, who originally made everyone feel invincible, seems to have no other way this time, and there is no other movement except for stubborn defense.

"It's clear that the donkey skills are poor, although the Celestial Empire is strong, but there are too many enemies, and there are many places that need to be defended, and now there is no army to send any troops to support in a short period of time, so it is a good time for us to start, why haven't the Huns moved yet?" In the big tent, looking at the number of military deaths reported every day, Anatoly said with some red eyes.

After all, he was on the attacking side, and his losses were naturally much greater than those of the others. And the data of tens of thousands of people killed in battle every day is something that even the Rus' country can't afford.

Anatoly was angry, and the other courtiers bowed their heads and remained silent. The current situation has been clear at a glance, although the Celestial Empire has no reinforcements to send, it seems to be at a disadvantage, but this has indeed not reached the bottom line of the other coalition forces, in the eyes of everyone, the vitality of the Celestial Empire is not injured, and there are still more than a dozen legions? Such a powerful enemy may turn over at any time, and if they make a move at this moment, once they attract the attack of the Celestial Empire's army, it will be a little more than worth the loss. Rather than this, it is better to let the Rus Kingdom and the Celestial Empire fight, so that under the defeat of both sides, it will only be them who are cheaper.

This is the so-called mountain watching the tiger fight. If Anatoly is not a fool, he naturally sees this idea, maybe it is someone else who is fighting with the Celestial Empire, and he will have to watch for a while. It's just that now that he's the protagonist, he naturally doesn't want to lose too much. "Let's not talk about the Xiongnu and Xianbei, didn't the Western Regions Alliance say it a long time ago? We do it, they do it, so why have they not moved at all after nearly three months now, what do they want to do? ”

If it weren't for the fact that the Western Regions Alliance had contacted him and said that he would go out together, Anatoly might have waited for a few years to become stronger before making a move. But now that he has listened to others and taken the lead, this alliance army is indeed standing on the sidelines watching the play, how can he not be angry?

"Your Majesty, the news sent by the Western Regions Alliance before, saying that it was there, and the Celestial Empire seemed to have the aura of increasing troops, so they didn't dare to act rashly. But their existence can be regarded as containing several legions of the Celestial Empire, and it can be regarded as relieving us of pressure. Minister Yevgeny, the minister in charge of foreign affairs, whispered.

"Humph! Containing the strength of the Celestial Legion, this is just an excuse, they simply treat us as free thugs, and let us fight with the Celestial Empire to lose both, they just want to take advantage of themselves. Anatoly said with a cold voice in his nose. But he is just talking, he knows that he can't control the friendly army, the only thing he can do now is to find a way to capture Hai Paulan, whether to catch Zhang Chao or not He didn't think too much, as long as he can take this city, it means that he has won a lot in this battle, which will also stimulate the friendly army, let them know that the Celestial Empire has lost power, only in this way, they may send troops to help.

"That's it, give the order to go down and continue the siege. By the way, when the news is released, it will be said that we are not in supply of food and grass, and if we can't take Haibalan City in ten days, we will consider reconciling with the Celestial Empire. "Anatoly thought about it, and decided to force the other friendly forces who were watching the excitement, you can not make a move, but once I reach a reconciliation with the Celestial Empire, you will not have a chance to make a move.
