A large number of soldiers from the imperial guard Masi took to the streets, ending the panic and chaos and restoring order.
However, the imperial capital was surrounded by prairie wolves and cavalry, and the people who were ordered to return home were still in panic.
?In an atmosphere of panic, officials at all levels were also full of worries about their future and fate. They sent their capable servants to inquire about the news and wait and see the situation.
Compared with the chaotic streets of the imperial capital, the solemn and solemn palace is as quiet as ever.
?The soldiers of the Jinyi Guards in strong and sharp clothes stood straight like javelins on the corridors and steps around the Palace of Qinzheng, with three steps, one guard and five steps, one sentry, making this place heavily guarded.
In the solemn Qinzheng Hall, the imperial emperor Chen Ziang was discussing the war with several important imperial officials around the sand table.
The traitor Li Changqing, who was denounced by all the ministers, was on the list. He was imposing and sharp-eyed, not at all like the downcast appearance of a defeated general that outsiders said.
"Information shows that there are more than 200,000 wolf cavalry chasing us to the imperial capital, and there are more than 100,000 stranded in the occupied area. This is already the limit of the grassland troops."
Li Changqing, the acting commander of the third field army, pointed to the small green flag on the sand table and reported the enemy's situation to Chen Ziang.
"In the occupied areas, we have more than 20,000 small groups of left behind troops. They are commanded by Xu Yong, the deputy commander of the third group army. They will do their best to restrain the more than 100,000 prairie wolf cavalry in the occupied areas and effectively kill them. .¡±
"As long as we wipe out the more than 200,000 wolf cavalry led to the imperial capital, there will be no threat to me from the grassland." Li Changqing said.
There are tens of thousands of tribes in the prairie, but the number of young and strong is limited. In several wars with the Far East, the prairie wolf cavalry suffered huge losses.
This time, more than 300,000 wolf cavalry can be gathered to attack the Far East.
The prairie wolf cavalry are extremely mobile troops. The cavalry troops in the Far East are limited, and all of them were transferred to Li Lang to deal with the Holy See.
Li Changqing's subordinates are almost all infantry, and he has to deal with more than 300,000 wolf cavalry, which can be said to be very difficult.
If they were to fight head-on, more than 300,000 wolf cavalry could kill them head-on.
At that time, not only will the wolf cavalry be unstoppable, but the Far Eastern Empire will lose troops and generals, and the situation will continue to deteriorate.
To change the disadvantages of the strategy, the only way is to find a way to eliminate the active force of the wolf cavalry on the grassland.
For this reason, Li Changqing and the others deliberately gave up many provinces and regions in order to disperse the power of the wolf cavalry, hoping to divide them and destroy them.
As for the main force of the wolf cavalry, Li Changqing and the others are going to use the imperial capital as a bait to destroy it under the imperial capital.
They wiped out 30,000 prairie wolf cavalry, and successfully aroused the anger of the prairie wolf cavalry, forcing the wolf cavalry to try to fight them.
Then Li Changqing and the others fled to avoid the battle, deliberately fled to the imperial capital of the Far East Empire, and successfully led the wolf cavalry to the imperial capital.
They led the main force of the wolf cavalry to a decisive battle under the imperial capital. In addition to avoiding many areas being involved in the war, they also relied on the towering and strong city walls of the imperial capital.
If it is a decisive battle elsewhere, the wolf cavalry may not necessarily attack the city, because the wolf cavalry is not good at attacking the city.
As long as the commander-in-chief of the wolf cavalry is not stupid, he can send cavalry to surround the city. Li Changqing's main force can be wiped out as long as the food and fodder in the city are exhausted.
And while they were besieging the city, they could also send cavalry troops to attack the surrounding areas, which would cause devastating damage to many parts of the Far Eastern Empire and be extremely detrimental to the people.
This time, the Far Eastern Empire did not evacuate the people on a large scale, because this was a national war, and it was facing attacks from the three countries at the same time. If the people were to be evacuated on a larger scale, the food and fodder consumed would be astronomical.
For this reason, the empire had to strategically sacrifice the people in several provinces in the north of the empire, and lost them to the wolf cavalry.
Of course, the empire did not mobilize them to fight to the end, but let them preserve their strength, pretending to be snakes temporarily, and waiting for the imperial army to fight back.
The imperial army has not completely withdrawn, and there are still more than 20,000 small troops active in several provinces in the north.
Now that the main force of the wolf cavalry has been successfully led to the imperial capital, Chen Ziang believes that the wolf cavalry will not be tempted by the prosperity of the imperial capital and the huge temptation of such a status as the capital of the Far East.
"The more than 200,000 wolf cavalry led by Arslen have already approached the city.I believe he will not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture the imperial capital. "Chen Ziang said firmly.
After all, capturing the capital of an enemy country is the highest honor in a general's life, not to mention that there are Chen Zi'ang and the high-level officials of the Far East Empire in the city.
If Chen Ziang and the high-level officials of the Far East Empire could be captured alive, they might be able to make forced landings in many provinces, allowing them to occupy large areas of the Far East without any effort.
"So the first stage of this defensive operation is to effectively kill the vital forces of the wolf cavalry and dampen their spirit."
"The second stage is to let them into the city, let's close the door and beat the dogs, and wipe them out completely!"
While Chen Ziang was speaking, he cast his eyes on Li Changqing, a young hero.
"Changqing, I will entrust this battle to you. I will entrust you with the wealth and life of the people in the city. Don't let me down."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, please rest assured, my lords, unless the general is dead, the wolf cavalry will never want to hurt a single hair of Your Majesty!" Li Changqing clasped his fists and said.
Under Li Changqing's command are the security corps, the guards corps and other brave troops, coupled with the solid city defense, Qin An, Yue Shan and others also have confidence in him.
"Your Majesty, the people in the city are terrified, and officials at all levels are also terrified. Do you want to issue a notice to reassure the people?" said Qin An, the chief in charge.
"No, the deployment of this decisive battle is an absolute secret. Once it is leaked, it will definitely affect the war."
Chen Ziang stared at the crowd, and said with a murderous expression: "I hope everyone here can take care of the overall situation and strictly guard the secrets of the deployment of the decisive battle. Anyone who leaks will be killed without mercy!"
"Your Majesty, if the people in the city are uneasy, I am worried that something will happen." Qin An said.
After all, the deliberate attempt to lure the enemy to the emperor this time was a strategic plan of the high-level empire. Officials at all levels and the common people did not know about it. Qin An was worried that they would really think that the empire would perish and would do something bad.
Chen Ziang said: "When the empire is in crisis, it is time to test the subjects of the empire. I want to see who is willing to live and die with the empire, and who is the one who betrays the master and seeks glory."
"The minister waits to obey the order."
Since Chen Ziang has said so, Qin An can't continue to persuade, as long as he agrees.
"Qin Aiqing, this time you are fully responsible for dispatching various food supplies to ensure the needs of frontline soldiers."
"The minister obeys the order."
Chen Ziang handed over the task of guarding the imperial capital to Li Changqing, the acting commander of the Third Field Army, and then asked Qin An, the rotating chief, not to manage government affairs and appease the people, but to be responsible for logistics support.
He did this on purpose to keep Qin An from taking care of things, creating an illusion that the Empire State Building was about to fall, and wanted to see who was the most loyal and reliable when the Empire was facing a crisis. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
