Three full days have passed since the last massive attack by the Star Luo Empire army.

The Xingluo Empire's army directly lost 90,000 troops, except because Lu Yuan used a heaven-destroying Xinghuang Shatter, which directly annihilated the Star Luo Empire's 70,000 troops.

There are still 20,000 Xingluo Empire troops who were lost in the siege battle. After all, capturing Zhennanguan, the first level of the Tiandou Empire, was originally a sacrifice of human lives.

It is expected that their casualties are higher than those of the Tiandou Empire, but on the first day of the battle, nearly one-tenth of the main battle force was lost. This is even for a star with a military strength of millions. The entire Luo Empire will be heartbroken.

After all, this one million army is not an ordinary army, but an excellent elite army. It can be said that this one million army is better than the two million ordinary army of the Tiandou Empire, and is comparable to the five major titled legions.

Calculating the casualties in yesterday's one-day siege, it was already equivalent to the total annihilation of a titled regiment.

How could this not make Dai Qingxiao feel pain?

Dai Qingxiao is currently leading the queen and many generals in the border city of the Star Luo Empire. This is the first city on the border of the Star Luo Empire. It is as important as Zhennan Pass and is the first line of defense for the Star Luo Empire against foreign enemies.

Its name is Yubeiguan, which is far opposite to Zhennan Pass. After all, the Tiandou Empire is in the north of the Star Luo Empire.

Dai Qingxiao's face turned extremely ugly after hearing Wang Qianren's report on the casualties of the army.

"There were so many casualties in the army yesterday?!" Dai Qingxiao said in disbelief.

Although the damage caused by Lu Yuan's Xinghuang Shatter yesterday was very terrifying, everyone was not very clear about the casualties at that time.

Lu Yuan himself didn't know.

Only after the Star Luo Empire counted the casualties after the war, did they realize how terrifying Lu Yuan's move was.

Xinghuang Shatter actually directly destroyed nearly 70,000 troops and killed another 130,000 troops, and indirectly caused injuries to another 130,000 troops. Among them, 60,000 troops were directly seriously injured, which was equivalent to losing the ability to go to the battlefield.

In other words, the Star Luo Empire's million-strong army directly lost 150,000 main battle troops.

"Yes, that Lu Yuan... directly annihilated one of our armies." Wang Qianren said with a bitter smile, "It's really terrifying. Such terrifying killing skills... I have never seen it even with a titled Douluo. One who can annihilate an army of 70,000 in one blow.”

Perhaps among the Titled Douluo, the ceiling of Titled Douluo like Tang Hao, Golden Crocodile Douluo and the Three Great Peerless Douluo can do such a thing, and besides that, Lu Yuan’s cheap master Poison Douluo Dugu Bo used Poison can do this, too.

But what are the cultivation levels of the three peerless Douluo, Tang Hao and others? They are all top-level experts in the Douluo world who are at least level 95 or above.

Lu Yuan is just a Contra, so he can be compared with these people, which is terrifying to think about.

Although the latter, Poison Douluo Dugubo, could do the same as Lu Yuan, killing tens of thousands of troops in one blow.

Dugu Bo's poison attack cannot directly annihilate tens of thousands of troops in an instant like Lu Yuan's Xinghuang Shatter. The poison must be allowed time to evaporate on the battlefield before slowly annihilating the enemy troops.

This concept is different.

"Your Majesty, our available main battle force is now 850,000, and there are still one million civilians and baggage troops that can be recruited to the battlefield. So now we should..." Wang Qianren said in a deep voice.

As a country of tigers and wolves, the Star Luo Empire has such strong military power that almost everyone in the empire can serve as a soldier. This time, in addition to a million main battle troops, there are an additional million civilians and baggage troops to serve as supply lines, transporting food and supplies to the front line. Forge siege engines.

Although they are not professional soldiers, as long as Dai Qingxiao gives an order, these millions of civilians can instantly put on inferior light armor, grab weapons, and become soldiers who go into battle to kill the enemy.

Of course, it is definitely not the case that these one million civilians will directly turn into soldiers and fight in the war. After all, the follow-up supply lines and baggage troops must be guaranteed, otherwise there will be problems with the supplies and baggage.

Then even the tiger and wolf master will become a lamb to be slaughtered.

However, although millions of civilians cannot be turned into an army, at least half of the civilians, that is, half a million civilians, can be transformed into frontline soldiers.

But including these 500,000 civilians, the total army is 1.3 million. Compared with the Tiandou Empire defenders who only have less than 200,000 in Zhennan Pass, there is no doubt that the advantage lies with the Star Luo Empire.

Dai Qingxiao knew what Wang Qianren meant. He wanted to use human lives to pile them down to suppress Nanguan.

"No, Lu Yuan said that in three days, the Tiandou Empire's 500,000-strong army will come to Zhennanguan Pass." Dai Qingxiao waved his hand and said solemnly, "Now calculate the time, these 500,000 troops will come to Zhennanguan Pass." The army has arrived at Zhennanguan."

"The enemy has a total of 700,000 troops. Relying on the danger of the pass, how much price do we have to pay to capture Zhennan Pass?"

"If we take Zhennanguan, the loss will be too great, then what's the use of Zhennanguan?" Dai Qingxiao said in a deep voice, "If you save the land and lose the people, you will lose both the people and the land; if you save the people and lose the land, the people will be lost. All the earth remains.”

"I didn't expect the other party to come to the rescue so quickly. The most important thing is that Lu Yuan was so powerful!" Dai Qingxiao gritted his teeth. If Lu Yuan hadn't wiped out tens of thousands of Xingluo Empire's troops with one strike three days ago, the Xingluo Empire would still be in ruins now. The main battle force of 150,000 was lost.

He may support Wang Qianren at this moment, recruit civilians, and capture Zhennanguan at the cost of human lives.

This was also their initial plan, and even if the Tiandou Empire sent troops to support them, according to their thinking, now that the Tiandou Empire's army had just suffered casualties, it would be able to reach Zhennanguan directly for support.

Its morale must be low and its combat capability must be low, so it can be annihilated in one fell swoop.

But now, even if the Tiandou Empire's reinforcements of 500,000 people go according to their previous ideas, their morale is low and their combat capabilities are not strong.

Dai Qingxiao didn't even dare to attack Zhennanguan directly...

because……

Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan's combat power is so powerful that it can greatly increase morale on the battlefield.

This is like playing a ranked game. You are playing top lane on the top lane, and suddenly there is a system broadcast of a big daddy's quadruple kill. Then you must feel that this is a sure win, and start playing the game seriously.

At least you can't let yourself become a breakthrough.

Moreover, Lu Yuan can almost stand up to an army of 200,000 men by one person. This time, the two sides are equal in strength.

The Tiandou Empire relies on Zhennan Pass, and the Star Luo Empire pays a higher price for the attack. Doesn't it mean that if the Tiandou Empire's army is to be annihilated and the Zhennan Pass is captured, the Star Luo Empire will lose at least 80% of its troops. ?

What else to fight?

"Your Majesty, then we must lure the Tiandou Empire to fight us on the border battlefield." Mad Lion General Renn stood up at this time, knelt down on one knee and said.

He is not good at sieges, but leading troops in frontal assaults and annihilation battles is what he is best at.

"Lu Yuan is young and vigorous. I saw his face that day. He is proud of his talent and arrogant. After all, he is a young genius. Maybe if we show weakness to the enemy and pretend to be defeated, Lu Yuan will definitely think of taking advantage of the victory to pursue us and lead the troops out of the pass. !" Ren said with a smile.

Dai Qingxiao thought for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.

"Crazy Lion, you are smart and wise. This plan is indeed very clever. I would have expected that Lu Yuan has become famous in the mainland at such a young age, and has never failed since becoming famous. He should be proud, complacent and confident."

"It's just...how to pretend to be defeated before Lu Yuan chases him out?" Dai Qingxiao asked again.

He suddenly felt that something was unreasonable and said, "We were almost defeated last time and suffered 200,000 casualties. Lu Yuan didn't even personally lead his troops to pursue..."

"Your Majesty, Zhennanguan didn't have half a million troops to support us last time. Now the reinforcements have arrived. After Lu Yuan saw us pretending to retreat, he will definitely want to pursue us!" Crazy Lion General Ren said again.

Dai Qingxiao nodded, "That's right. The Zhennan Pass army is different now. Before, there were less than 200,000 defenders. Now there are 500,000 more reinforcements. Lu Yuan has the capital to pursue them. of."

"But... it's still inappropriate. This plan is a good plan and must be planned in detail." He said in a deep voice.

Renn instantly fell into thinking. He was not very good at this feint strategy.

Most of his tactics are basically charges, surprise attacks, and siege formations. His fighting style is to be aggressive and lonely.

At this time, Deathblade General Wang Qianren, who had not spoken for a long time, thought for a moment, and then he said, "Your Majesty, in this case, we can only pretend to attack Zhennan Pass again, and..."

"Oh?" Dai Qingxiao looked at him curiously.

"I have a plan. Even a veteran like Illusen will be unable to restrain himself and have some ideas." Wang Qianren said in a deep voice, "The young boy Lu Yuan will probably be even more unable to restrain himself and lead his troops out of the border. Chase!”

"Tell me about it." Dai Qingxiao's eyes lit up and he said.

"This plan... In addition to the feint attack on Zhennanguan and the defeat, it also needs..." Wang Qianren looked at Dai Qingxiao.

Dai Qingxiao and Zhu Lanxi beside him understood instantly, but...

Zhu Lanxi's expression became stern, "How dare you! How dare you want His Majesty to put himself in danger?"

"I acknowledge my guilt!" Wang Qianren immediately knelt down and bowed his head and said.

Wang Qianren's idea of ​​looking at Dai Qingxiao is very simple and easy to understand, and any smart person will see it.

That is, Dai Qingxiao went to the battlefield in person and pretended to be injured after a feint attack. Even in this way, the defeat of the Star Luo Empire was very reasonable.

As the king of a country, Dai Qingxiao was seriously injured on the battlefield, and then the Star Luo Empire army planned to withdraw to protect Dai Qingxiao and retreat.

This is very reasonable.

And in the face of the huge merit of being able to capture or even kill the king of a country, this merit is huge enough for the Tiandou Empire to split the land and seal the territory for him.

Coupled with the temptation to capture the thief first, who wouldn't want to get this supreme honor?

Not to mention Lu Yuan, even the veteran Sen Luohou might not be able to resist this huge temptation.

But the key is...

It is very dangerous for Dai Qingxiao to personally go to the front line to attack Zhennanguan.

Although he is not just a soul sect like Emperor Xue Ye, but even Dai Qingxiao, who is a Soul Douluo cultivator, as the king of a country, the frontline siege battlefield is very dangerous and worrying. .

That's why Queen Zhu Lanxi is so angry.

But just then...

"Xi'er..." Dai Qingxiao on the side waved his hand and took Zhu Lanxi back into his arms.

He looked indifferently and looked at Wang Qianren who was kneeling.

Zhu Lanxi's expression changed, "Your Majesty... you can't be..."

"Hey, I'm not a weakling who was raised in the hands of a woman in the palace." Dai Qingxiao smiled and said to her, "When you and I were young, we fought on the battlefield for so many years, how could we still be afraid of this battlefield? "

"For the sake of the empire, for the victory of this war, let alone go to the front line, even if we really want to lead our troops to kill the enemy, we will go there!" He said solemnly, "If we don't get the victory in this war, Victory is a huge loss.”

Every war in every country is more than just fighting. In addition to dispatching troops, it also needs to mobilize civilians, prepare baggage, transport food, and even provide compensation for casualties in the later period, which is a lot of money.

In fact, the last time Gao Zhong led his troops to attack Zhennang Pass, he lost 200,000 troops and returned without success, which was already a huge loss for the Star Luo Empire.

If this is still the case now, even if a million troops return safely, Zhennanguan Pass will not be attacked.

That was a huge loss for the Star Luo Empire. Economically, the Star Luo Empire and even the Star Luo royal family spent more than one million gold soul coins this time.

And their purpose this time is only to capture Zhennanguan, and even the major principalities and kingdoms after capturing Zhennanguan!

"What's more, if you and I join forces, even a titled Douluo can't do anything to us." Dai Qingxiao said, "If that's the case, why don't we do it?"

Zhu Lanxi's face softened a little, and finally he could only sigh, "Your Majesty is right, it is my concubine who worries about me."

"Why did Xi'er say this? You also care about me." Dai Qingxiao said with a smile, "And even if something happens to us, will the emperor still be there in the imperial capital?"

Zhu Lanxi rolled her eyes at him, "Don't say these unlucky words again."

"Yes, yes, it's my fault." Dai Qingxiao said with a smile.

Zhu Lanxi stopped talking.

"Death Blade, get up." Then, Dai Qingxiao said in a deep voice to the kneeling Wang Qianren.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Qianren stood up and said without any change in his expression.

He wasn't even really scared by Zhu Lanxi's anger just now.

And his indifferent look seemed to confirm that Dai Qingxiao would not blame him, and would even approve of the plan.

After all, they have been emperors and ministers for many years, and Wang Qianren is somewhat familiar with the character of the emperor Dai Qingxiao.

Faced with such a plan with huge benefits and huge risks, Dai Qingxiao often chooses to take risks.

"What about other than that? Apart from me going to the battlefield and pretending to be seriously injured in front of Lu Yuan?" Dai Qingxiao said.

He knew that Wang Qianren's plan would not be that simple.

"Besides..." Wang Qianyan added, "we will also have to pay tens of thousands of soldier casualties, but this may not be enough to make the other party lose their vigilance."

"So we still need help from others." He said lightly.

"Others?" Dai Qingxiao asked curiously.

"who?"

Wang Qianren said two words lightly, "..."
