Chapter 296 Yuming
As one of the several large cities on the border of the Star Luo Empire, Yuming City is located in the northwest corner of the Star Luo Empire, less than a hundred kilometers away from the Mingdou Mountains and the border of the Tianhun Empire. It's only less than 500 kilometers.
The sun and the moon are the stars, and the word "Yu Ming" in this city means to resist the sun and the moon. This city naturally plays an important role in the border defense of the Star Luo Empire.
Yu Mingcheng is not only one of the most important supply cities for the front camp, it also houses two reserve corps of the Northwest Group Army.
At this moment, in this city, which plays an important role in the border defense of the Star Luo Empire, thick smoke caused by artillery fire is billowing.
More than half of the city wall that had resisted countless Sun Moon Empire soldiers collapsed, and rows of soldiers wearing soul armor were stationed at the collapsed location.
To prevent the residents of the city from running out through the gap, a large number of soldiers wearing soul armor were roaming the streets to maintain order.
This city, which had guarded the Star-Luo border for hundreds of years, was easily captured within three hours of the official start of the war between the Sun and Moon Empire.
On the top of the city, Orange, dressed in orange-red soul guide armor, stood on the wall of the southern city, looking at the entire city.
Obviously it was easy to capture Yuming City, but there was not much joy on Orange's face, but rather a bit of disbelief.
Not only him, but also several generals standing behind her had the same expression.
Even Wang Lin was no exception. There was no way this war would be fought too easily. Under the crushing force of equipment, the Sun and Moon Empire only sent out ordinary soul master legions.
Fire Phoenix and the Evil Lord Soul Master Legion did not even participate in the frontal battlefield at all.
“It’s unbelievable, it’s less than three hours!” Orange sighed with emotion.
"In fact, it should be true. Most of the soldiers from the Star Luo Empire who participated in the war have not awakened their martial souls. Such Star Luo has actually been my opponent of the Sun and Moon Empire for such a long time."
Wang Yiheng's tone was a little sad. He felt sad for these soldiers of the Star Luo Empire.
Everyone was silent as soon as these words came out. Not long after, a soldier dressed as a quartermaster ran up to the city and reported: "Marshal, there are too many leather armors, and we don't have enough storage soul guides!"
"Go to the city to borrow some warehouses, send telegrams to the country, and find some fur merchants to sell them at a discount." Juzi was silent for a moment and ordered.
She has obviously thought about how to deal with this. In addition to capturing Yuming City this time, the Sun and Moon Empire also gathered a large number of Xingluo defeated troops.
Since we need to collect the broken troops, the equipment on these broken soldiers must naturally be confiscated.
The most difficult thing to deal with is the leather armor worn by ordinary soldiers. Unlike the Sun and Moon Empire, which is fully equipped with soul guidance armor.
Soldiers of the Star Luo Empire generally wear the most basic leather armor, and only soldiers above the captain wear chain mail made of metal.
"Yes, Marshal!"
The quartermaster received the order and hurriedly retreated to deal with the leather armor problem.
Juzi looked at the quartermaster's departure with a little helplessness. The number of storage soul guides prepared in the army this time should be enough according to the initial preparation plan.
Because in the original plan, the estimated number of defeated troops was not that large. This was based on the fact that Orange had taken into account the replacement of generals in the Star Luo Empire.
What Juzi didn’t consider was that the new coach of the Star Luo Empire dared to directly command the army to attack the Sun and Moon Empire directly after the Sun and Moon Empire’s army broke through the Mingdou Mountains.
The result was that the Xingluo army was directly defeated by the Sun and Moon army. There was no way for the soul guide to match the spear, and it was crushed.
Even on the frontal battlefield, a legion of Xingluo soul masters in the army who wanted to make a surprise attack were destroyed. After this battle, it can be said that half of the main combat power of the Star Luo Empire has been destroyed. It was this kind of free hand that surprised Orange and a group of senior officers of the Sun and Moon Empire.
On the other side,
In the Star Luo Empire's commander's tent,
"Report!"
Heralds kept coming into the tent with the situation on the front line, sitting in the main tent. Xu Jiujiu, who was in the position, no longer looked as proud as before.
At this moment, her face was extremely embarrassed and extremely pale.
The casualties of ordinary soldiers cannot be counted, and even if they are counted, they are not too important. The focus is on the death of more than two hundred soul saints and above on the battlefield, including more than a dozen Soul Douluo.
The losses on the front line had been roughly tallied. She took a deep breath for a long time. She thought she was responsible. She stood up and faced Dai Hao.
"Your Majesty, today's defeat is due to my stubbornness and wrong decision-making, which led to the defeat on the frontal battlefield. I will ask your Majesty to punish myself and ask your Majesty to return your position as marshal. At the same time, starting from now on , I will fully cooperate with you and obey your arrangements."
As soon as he said this, no one in the tent said anything. Dai Hao looked at it with an indifferent expression for a long time. After a long time, he still got up and walked over. In front of Jiujiu, he helped him up.
“Your Highness the Princess, you don’t have to be like this. This loss is not just for the Princess.”
After some high-sounding nonsense, although he was still the marshal of the Northwest Army for a long time in name, he actually changed back to Dai Hao.
Under Dai Hao's instructions, military orders were sent from the tent to the front line. A famous general left the tent and went to the front line to collect the defeated troops.
Until late at night, only Long Jiujiu, Dai Hao, and Huo Yuhao, whose true appearance had been revealed before, were left in the camp.
Huo Yuhao stood behind Dai Hao, looking at the "iron-blooded handsome man" of the Star Luo Empire with a complicated expression, and suddenly said: "Your Highness, Duke, I don't have much to do if I stay here. It's useful. I'm going to investigate the situation on the front line."
"You?" Dai Hao turned to look at Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao nodded confidently: "Of course, I have this ability, Duke. Clear.”
Rather than doing simple scout work, Huo Yuhao actually wanted to directly participate in the battlefield, but the identity he represented now was that of a disciple of Shrek Academy.
He is not a soldier of the Star Luo Empire, otherwise Huo Yuhao, who was trained as an extreme individual soldier, would have the confidence to establish his own merits on the battlefield, and even command an army without any problem.
Huo Yuhao has this confidence.
“Okay, feel free to do it yourself.” Dai Hao paused and said calmly. Different from the original work, Huo Yuhao at this time was just an ordinary soul king in Shrek Academy.
He is not the master of the Spirit Transferring Pagoda, but he also has the reputation of cheating twice in the continent-wide senior soul master competition.
"I'll go with you." Xu Jiujiu said suddenly. Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, glanced at Dai Hao, and seeing that Dai Hao didn't refuse, he nodded and agreed.
"Huo Yuhao, please go out and wait for me. I have something else to tell the Duke." After a long while, Huo Yuhao walked out of the tent immediately.
"Plop!"
As soon as he left the camp, Huo Yuhao heard a sound of kneeling from behind. Inside the camp, people knelt down in front of Dai Hao for a long time.
"Your Majesty, I was wrong."
