Chapter 260: The Great Army Suppresses the Realm
From the previous state of absolute riot, a little bit of calm has been restored, and many generals have begun to perform their duties in an orderly manner, in fact, Xu Yan has played a key role in this, but this role is not as big as imagined.
The reason is very simple, if these soldiers and generals want to leave with iron hearts, even if they are doing it, this will not change the result in the end, and it is because of this, even if it is how, in their eyes, it can only be so.
However, Xu Yan gave them an excuse, an excuse to have to serve the country, in fact, real soldiers and some generals still have this dream of serving the country in their hearts, but the previous defeat was so miserable that many generals began to be afraid in their hearts.
And Xu Yan's appearance just gave them such an excuse, so that in an instant, they suppressed the idea of wanting to escape in their hearts.
Because of this, this Cloud City has gradually become truly dignified, no matter what, it is no longer the Yunzhou City in the same situation as before, compared to when Xu Yan first came, I don't know how much better.
This is exactly what Xu Yan really feels most relieved in his heart, after all, this entire Great Qin, no matter what kind of army it is, actually has a good sense of belonging to Great Qin.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there are moles and those so-called rat feces, but after all, they are only a few, and these are not the credit of his Xu Yan, but the credit of Xu Wei, the first emperor of the ages, that is, his father.
In fact, to put it bluntly, when Xu Yan really began to worship his father sitting in the Heart Cultivation Palace, it was precisely after participating in the war and going to the battlefield.
Although there is no longer the figure of Xu Wei, the first emperor of the ages, on this battlefield, his influence has permeated every army all the time, and this terrifying degree is probably impossible even if he wants to completely follow suit in the future.
After all, Xu Wei is the real monarch who brought a weak Great Qin little by little to the point of a strong Great Qin, a real generation of Tianjiao.
And after that, no matter how good he is, perhaps, he will feel that he has inherited the foundation laid by Xu Wei in the eyes of many people to be able to do that level, fortunately, these two are father and son, and they are still father and son who have a good relationship, so Xu Yanzhi doesn't care.
The sky had just brightened, and I saw Xu Yan go to the gate of Xicheng without hesitation, and the divine light in those eyes could be said to be very strong, and because of this, behind him, many generals showed very puzzled expressions.
They all knew very well that if this barbarian wanted to attack, they were afraid that it would only be a few days, but they didn't expect Xu Yan to be so dignified at this time.
Judging from his opinion, in fact, this Yunzhou City is much smaller than the previous Yanzhou, and if you want to capture it, it will be much more difficult.
If you say that before, when the entire city began to be in turmoil, it was not a difficult thing to capture Yunzhou City, but now, it is really hard to say, okay?
But on the contrary, the solemnity shown by Xu Yan at this time was unprecedented, as if, the next battle was so miserable that even he could hardly imagine, if it weren't for this, how could everyone be confused?
"General, why did you go to the city gate early in the morning?" Everyone actually knows Xu Yan's thoughts at this time, but they don't understand why he is not good at this time, once the war really starts, I am afraid that his current supreme boss will not even have the slightest time to rest, but on the contrary, at this time, Xu Yan's solemnity is even stronger than before, in this situation, to be honest, those generals also lack confidence in their hearts.
Who is this person, is that the so-called god of war of the entire Great Qin now? Even if even he showed such a solemn expression, what does this mean, it means that if the city in front of him wants to defend it, there must be a huge sacrifice.
If it were just to sacrifice soldiers, these generals would probably be very uncomfortable, but they would not have such fear, but, looking at such a posture, I am afraid that this is not just as simple as sacrificing soldiers, okay?
"If nothing else, at least a third of you, the generals, including me, will die on this battlefield today. Xu Yan smiled bitterly, even if he didn't want to think like this in his heart, he also knew that this was the truth.
"What?"
Even if the generals present knew that the next battle would be very miserable, they never imagined that there would be such a huge difference from their expectations.
This entire Yunzhou City, that is a million troops, not to mention the countless generals, are also absolutely terrifying. ,
However, Xu Yan said that at least one-third of these children will die on the battlefield this time, what kind of judgment is this, is it difficult to achieve it because of the madness of this?
"This is a strategic place, and it can even be said that as long as Yunzhou City is breached, then the entire hinterland of Great Qin will be the target of their privateering, before we establish a new city defense, if we break through this Yunzhou City, what kind of effect will the consumption of Great Qin and the hegemony of this barbarian race have, I believe everyone knows it, right?" Xu Yan said very solemnly at this time.
Indeed, as long as there are people among the barbarians who are willing to work hard, as long as they break through this Yunzhou City, then the next stage will be the stage of long-term drive, even if it will not be a long time, but it will only be a year at most, but how terrifying the benefits are in it, this is something that everyone knows in their hearts.
Whether it is a spirit stone or other resources, it will be in the other party's pocket at that time, even if you directly empty your spirit stone mine, this year's time is enough, right?
As long as you can figure out this truth, then no matter what, even if you pay a big price, this Yunzhou City must be obtained in the eyes of the barbarians, okay?
If it weren't for that, how could it be so intense?
Therefore, Xu Yan knew that this guard battle, before Marshal Qin Tian came, was extremely difficult.
Now, the army in his hands and even his descendants have not yet come, and if he wants to defend this city, this is an unprecedented challenge for him.
In order to motivate morale and take the lead, this is something that must be done, so on the battlefield, whether he can ensure his own safety, even if Zhuge Tianji, a master at the Yuanying level, is still here, Xu Yan does not dare to guarantee it.
After all, this Zhuge Heavenly Machine is his last trump card, and once it is used, it is already the time when the city is about to be lost.
Sometimes, even if he knew that he was going to die, for the sake of Great Qin, he was not willing to use a trump card like Zhuge Tianji when he didn't reach that critical moment.
"But even then, it's not that exaggerated, is it?" one of the generals still couldn't believe it.
One-third of them will die on this battlefield, isn't that too exaggerated? Even when Yanzhou City is lost, such a miserable thing will not happen.
They really can't imagine that all this is true.
Of course, at this point, even Xu Yan's heart can only be dignified, whether what he said is true or not, only his own heart knows, but to encourage everyone and make them mentally prepared, this is Xu Yan's principle of life.
"Look, this army has come, everyone get ready! In this battle, we are not only facing satisfaction, but also the people in our rear and your own family, just imagine, once the barbarians really break through here, with your people's families, can they really guarantee that they can not be harmed by the barbarians?" Xu Yan said with some impassionedness.
No matter what kind of problems arise, at this time, we must stimulate everyone's fighting spirit, which is the most important thing.
At this stage, when he saw that the black and oppressive barbarian army was still coming after all, Xu Yan, who was already somewhat mentally prepared, could only think of a strategy, in his words, if he failed, he would only die, but if he succeeded, everyone would be the hero of the entire empire at this stage.
Fall, in the eyes of many monks, is actually not terrible, especially these soldiers, but, no matter what, even if it is death, it is worth dying.
Hundreds of billions of people are watching them from behind, if this city really can't be defended at this time, at least one-tenth of the people will be devastated by the war, which is not what Xu Yan wants to see.
Nor is it what the generals want to see.
After all, as a general, unless it is those who really don't learn and have no skills, otherwise, it may be a bit too big to make contributions, but protecting the peace of one side is an obsession engraved in their bones, if they can't even do this, then isn't it just a decoration for this empire to build an army?
Many people secretly made up their minds that this time, no matter what, even if they died, they must die on the road of charging.
Why, the reason is very simple, the loss of Yanzhou City before was enough to make these generals lose face, this time, no matter what, they must hold this city, even if it is a big price, there is no room for negotiation.
