The list discussion became lively again. The entire human race laughed at Gyeongo.
"Congratulations to Jingguo for winning the first battle without sending out a single soldier!"
"Jingguo scholars are terrifying. Thousands of miles away, tens of thousands of soldiers, they took the enemy's head!"
"Gyeongo did their best! After all, taking over a city is hard work! "
"I don't understand why you're laughing at Gyeongo. They took over eight cities! They were about to take over the entire Taihe Prefecture! Isn't it a miracle in the history of war to achieve this with hundreds of casualties? What, they were all killed by our own people? Pretend I didn't say anything. "
"The battle to seize the prefecture has finally seen blood! Gyeongo is a good man! "
The scholars of Gyeongo faced unprecedented pressure.
Following this, they endured the enormous pressure of "no enemy" and took over the entire Taihe Prefecture in one go. The ten cities of Taihe Prefecture were the same. All of them surrendered and were overjoyed.
After taking over the entire Taihe Prefecture, Gyeongo's army did not act rashly. They still split into four groups and stationed themselves in four cities.
According to Gyeongo's original plan, the battle in Taihe Prefecture would last at least a month. Now, it had been taken in less than ten days. The army should have continued to attack like a hot knife through butter, but no one dared to act rashly.
After another three days, the Qing army could no longer resist and split into four groups again.
They had no choice but to send troops to defend the cities they had taken. Even if they maintained a minimum of ten thousand soldiers in a city, Taihe Prefecture still needed to defend 100,000 soldiers.
Following this, the Qing army continued to fight steadily. They used 12 days to take over Changshan Prefecture without shedding a drop of blood.
This kind of success should have made Gyeongo happy, but the four million Qing soldiers felt even more depressed.
Even the one million Qing soldiers guarding the border of Xizhou were anxious. They felt that Jingguo was luring the enemy in and that their true target was the one million Qing soldiers in Xizhou.
However, it wasn't as if the Qing army had not improved.
During these days, the Qing army set up camp every evening. Furthermore, they built the most standard camp. They built the camp like they were building a permanent house.
This led to the rapid improvement of Gyeongo's ability to dig trenches, set up camps, cut wood for materials, and make fires for cooking.
The only drawback was that Gyeongo's soldiers and generals were a little nervous. As soon as there was a strange noise, they would panic at the slightest sound, as if every bush and tree was an enemy. Millions of people would be startled awake.
Although they discovered that Jing Jun did not launch a sneak attack every time, no one dared to let their guard down.
Any mistake would cost him his life.
Therefore, the nights of the four armies were never peaceful. There would often be abnormal occurrences, such as fires, underground movements, explosions, or animals entering the camps. Accidental deaths were a common occurrence.
No one could tell if it was an accident or Jingguo's doing.
Countless soldiers and generals wanted to rush forward and take care of Xiang Province in one go. However, no one dared to say anything. If they rushed for quick results and Jing Jun found a flaw, it was very likely that the entire army would be defeated.
Following this, the Qing army continued their march. Everywhere they went, it was the same as before. All the cities opened their doors and surrendered.
As June approached, all the scholars in Shengyuan were preparing for the Xiucai examination. The Qing army took over six of the ten prefectures of Xiang Province.
This was the first army in human history that wanted to fight a life and death battle with the enemy.
A few days later, the four armies set out again. Along the way, Gyeongo received a letter from Jingguo.
In the letter, the Jingguo cabinet asked if it was possible to stop the war and let the scholars of the two armies take the Xiucai examination.
When the generals of Gyeongo received the news, they almost flipped their tables.
This was a war for the Xiucai, not a game!
When the scholars of the human race heard the news, they laughed like crazy.
The scholars of Jingguo all praised the Jingguo cabinet for being a good cabinet.
Gyeongo righteously rejected the request of the Jingguo cabinet.
Thus, the Cabinet of Jing Kingdom issued a stern letter reprimanding the Qing Kingdom for not caring about the future of the scholars and delaying the future of the scholars. They should rein in the horse at the edge of the cliff, or else they would have to bear the consequences.
The Gyeongo army immediately became nervous. They stopped their actions and defended the cities.
One day, two days, three days …
Jingguo still did not send out a single soldier.
This was the first time that the Gyeongo soldiers felt so tired of war.
The arrow was already on the bow, and it had to be fired. A few days later, the Gyeongo army moved out again and took over the Lin Jiang Prefecture that bordered the Yueyang Prefecture.
Lin Jiang Prefecture was the largest prefecture in Xiang Province.
With the fall of Lin Jiang Prefecture, Yueyang City lost its last barrier.
This ancient city was completely exposed to the Gyeongo army.
The four cities closest to Yueyang City each had close to a million soldiers stationed there. They pointed their swords at Yueyang City.
Once they took over Yueyang City, it would mean the end of the war.
Yueyang City had already become the most important city in Jingguo. Not only was it prosperous, but it also had many schools. It was one of the most important cities in Jingguo.
What made the Jingguo people and Gyeongo people feel at ease was that there were millions of soldiers stationed outside Yueyang City.
When the Qing army learned that there was a large army stationed outside Yueyang City, they were extremely excited.
Finally, there was a war to fight!
Finally, they did not have to worry anymore!
Finally, they could teach the Jingguo people a lesson!
The Qing army, from the ordinary soldiers to the captains, reported to their superiors, hoping to have a real battle with the Jingguo people. The morale was so high that it was the highest in Gyeongo history.
There were even scholars in the Qing army who shouted the slogan of participating in the Xiucai Examinations in Yueyang City.
Under the encouragement of the millions of soldiers, the higher-ups in Gyeongo finally could not withstand the pressure and decided to send four armies to attack Yueyang City together!
The day the army set off was the 12th of June. There were only three days left until the Xiucai Examinations.
On the evening of the 13th of June, more than three million soldiers arrived at Yueyang City!
"Attack the city in the middle of the night!"
"Charge into Yueyang City!"
"Defeat Jingguo!"
When the Gyeongo soldiers saw the army on top of Yueyang City, their eyes turned red with anger.
The past few days had been too hard for them!
They had to slaughter the Jingguo people to avenge themselves.
Just when the Gyeongo soldiers were getting excited, ten purple-robed Confucian scholars descended from the sky. Each of them had a strange expression on their faces. A few of the Confucian scholars who had a good relationship with Jingguo even had strange smiles on their faces.
When the ordinary soldiers saw them, they were shocked. Didn't they say that the Confucian scholars were not allowed to participate in the battle? How did they appear in front of the two armies and even fly over?
However, when the Gyeongo generals saw this scene, they were all stunned. Then, they were all overjoyed!
The Grand Marshal, Zong Xuan, who was personally leading the army, said to the entire army through telepathy, "We have won this battle! Gyeongo is invincible! Gyeongo is invincible! Gyeongo is invincible! "
Soon, some of the scholars with literary positions understood and shouted along with him.
In the end, the ordinary soldiers also followed suit.
"Gyeongo is invincible! Gyeongo is invincible! "
Everyone thought that Gyeongo had won.
That was because these ten Confucian scholars were all Notre-Dame Confucian scholars!
During the Battle of Provinces, the Notre-Dame Confucian scholars could only appear in one way, and that was to announce that one side had lost.
The appearance of these Confucian scholars before the battle even started meant that they had reached an agreement before the battle. This kind of thing had happened before in history. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the Confucian scholars asked Half-saint to end the battle before the battle even started.
This kind of thing would happen again.
Three million against Yueyang City's one million, every soldier of the Qing Kingdom was certain that victory belonged to the Qing Kingdom.
Moreover, the Grand Marshal, Zong Xuan, had already said it.
