Throne of Vientiane Civilization

A season has almost passed since the Liang Kingdom's army set out to conquer China. He is in the palace of Daliang City. The increasingly hot weather has made Emperor Liang unfocused on government affairs these days. He is currently lying on his bed and taking a nap. There were four maids standing there, fanning him with fans.

When he woke up, he couldn't help but think of the war on the front line again.

In previous wars with neighboring countries, Emperor Liang had already seen the power of Centaur mercenaries.

Now Liang Huang once again spent huge sums of money to hire centaur mercenaries as thugs. As early as the first day of the army's expedition, he had dreamed of conquering the Central Plains and unifying the world.

[Counting the time, there should be good news coming back, right? 】

Just as he was thinking this, there was a burst of rapid steps outside the palace.

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first!

"Report——"

"Three hundred miles urgent call coming from the border!"

When Emperor Liang heard this, he immediately showed ecstasy.

"Hurry up!"

After receiving the order, the messenger soldiers dressed in fatigues hurriedly entered the palace.

Before the other party could salute, Emperor Liang couldn't wait to ask.

"But good news from the front line?!"

The messenger soldier who had been running all the way was exhausted physically and mentally. When he heard this, he didn't react for a moment. He just said the only information in his mind as quickly as possible.

"The Western Region and the Western Region were attacked by unknown enemies, and Pingyuan City fell!"

As he said these words, Emperor Liang felt as if he was struck by lightning. The ecstatic expression on his face completely froze. After being stunned for two seconds, his face quickly distorted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then he grabbed the man. The messenger's collar.

"What did you just say? Say it again?!"

The messenger soldier was so frightened by Huang Huang's behavior that he turned pale, but he still told the urgent report again with difficulty.

"The Western Territory was attacked by unknown enemies, and Pingyuan City fell."

"..."

Hearing the news again, Emperor Liang took a deep breath after a brief silence, and then kicked the messenger to the ground.

"Impossible! You dare to lie about the military situation. This is the crime of deceiving the emperor! Here comes someone! Drag me down and behead him!!"

When Emperor Liang's order came, the guards guarding outside the palace did not doubt that he was there. They hurried into the palace, grabbed the messenger soldier and dragged him outside the palace.

"It's unfair, it's unfair!! Everything the villain said is true!! He definitely did not lie about the military situation!!!"

The messenger screamed at the top of his lungs, but he had exhausted all his strength during the journey. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not break away from the grasp of the two guards.

Listening to the sound going further and further away, Emperor Liang couldn't calm down in his heart. Instead, he fell into great anxiety.

"Pingyuan City fell? Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"

While muttering to himself, Emperor Liang looked outside the hall again.

"Pass my order and send a cavalryman to Pingyuan City as quickly as possible to confirm the situation!"

Originally, after taking a nap, Emperor Liang wanted to cheer up and deal with government affairs, but now he has completely lost his mood.

The entire afternoon was spent in his anxiety.

No matter how fast the cavalry moves, it still takes time to get from Daliang City to Pingyuan City on the border.

But as long as he could not get a definite answer, the anxiety in Liang Huang's heart could not be eliminated.

In the following week, he could be said to have been completely immersed in a wave of intense anxiety.

"Report——"

"Three hundred miles urgent call from Donghe City!"

On this day, during the court meeting, another three hundred miles urgent message came, and it came from Donghe City, which is also in the western border.

This made Emperor Liang's expression obviously cloudy, but he finally gritted his teeth.

"Xuan!"

The messenger walked into the palace quickly and summoned up the energy to tell the news he had brought back after traveling day and night.

"Donghe City was attacked and has fallen!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, causing Emperor Liang's mind to go blank for an instant. Then he stumbled and sat down directly on the dragon chair behind him.

The courtiers below were so frightened that they fell to their knees and shouted, 'Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body! ’

But Emperor Liang could no longer hear their voices.

In the middle of summer, it was obviously a time of unbearable heat, but at this moment, Emperor Liang, who was paralyzed on the dragon chair, felt that his whole body was cold, and his body was shivering uncontrollably.

At the same time, he kept mumbling...

"Impossible, this is impossible..."

He didn't know how long he rested on the dragon chair, but finally Liang Huang gathered his energy and stood up.

"Where on earth did this enemy come from that could defeat two cities in the western border of our Liang Kingdom in such a short period of time?!"

The Liang Kingdom only has six cities in total. With two of them falling, it can be said that he has lost nearly one-third of his territory.

Not to mention that once Donghe City is defeated, the enemy's current position can directly reach his capital, Daliang City! !

At this moment, the courtiers below were facing Emperor Liang's angry questioning. They all lowered their heads and looked at each other in confusion.

While he was also unclear about what the situation was, he was even more speechless.

"Trash! They are all a bunch of trash!!"

During this period, because of the sudden news from the Western Region, Emperor Liang was already anxious, had trouble sleeping and eating, and his entire mental state was getting weaker and weaker.

Now looking at the group of courtiers below who were completely unable to help him solve his problems, Emperor Liang was furious and immediately his eyes darkened and he fainted.

When Emperor Liang fainted, the whole court turned into a mess, and the scene was in chaos.

Afterwards, no one knew who leaked the news, and the news of the fall of the two cities in the western border of Liang Kingdom spread like wildfire, spreading throughout Daliang City in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, compared to Daliang City, which had become a mess, Zhuoge and Baitu, who had successfully captured Donghe City after capturing Pingyuan City, were currently discussing in the military camp of Donghe City. for the next action.

"Old Bai, do you think we should take the capital Daliang City directly next, or should we take down the two nearby cities first?"

At this moment, Drogo was reaching out and gesturing on the map in front of him.

This battle was really too easy for them, not just because of the city-breaking weapons like the three-bow bed crossbow.

In addition, a very important point is that the strength of their expedition is a full 3,500 people!

At the beginning, Zhou Xu conscripted troops twice, the first was 2,000, and the second was 3,000. Basically all the 2,000 troops in the first levy were transferred to Anling City for defense, and the 3,000 in the second levy were , he transferred them all to Feiyan City.

At that time, Feiyan City's total military strength was as high as four thousand! Five hundred of them stayed behind in Feiyan City, while the remaining 3,500 followed Zhuoge and Bai Tu all the way across mountains and rivers to the western border of the Liang Kingdom.

Just relying on their military strength, coupled with the three-bow crossbow, a powerful weapon to destroy the city, the Liang Kingdom and the current Zhou army are really killing at will!

The only thing that slowed down their efficiency was the distance between cities.
