At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

"Xia Yun, how are you going to fight this final battle?"

After handing over all the Zhejiang navy to Xia Yun, Lei Zhenning asked.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yun fell into deep thought on the spot.

Currently, there are still as many as 280,000 Japanese pirates in Chunyun City. If they launch an attack first, they will surely suffer heavy casualties.

However, if we surround them without attacking, and use the method of poverty to exhaust all the resources of the Japanese pirates, the duration of this war will be extended indefinitely.

"Although there are still a lot of Japanese pirates left, they are the ones who should be worried now. Zhejiang is the territory of our Daliang Dynasty after all!"

After a brief contemplation, Xia Yun's eyes first revealed a gleam of brilliance.

"Yes, Xia Yun is right. The war has progressed to this point today. Our Daliang Dynasty has an absolute advantage. My dear ministers, there is no need to panic."

At this time, the empress who had been silent finally spoke, and a calm and composed look appeared on her face.

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true."

Zhao Gongming and Lei Zhenning nodded in succession.

After all, they now have absolute advantage, and it is only a matter of time before they completely defeat the Japanese pirates.

"I propose that Xia Yun be the final commander of this war."

Then, Zhao Gongming suddenly made a suggestion.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the central army tent showed a look of surprise on their faces.

You should know that Zhao Gongming has been commanding troops for many years, and his experience is among the best among all the generals in the Daliang Dynasty.

Now he has more than 500,000 troops at his disposal.

Whether in terms of experience or status, Zhao Gongming should be the final commander of this decisive battle.

In fact, as long as Zhao Gongming did not take the initiative to ask for it, the empress would eventually hand over the command to Zhao Gongming.

"Master Zhao, are you serious about what you said?"

Xiao Yan seemed to be worried that he had heard it wrong, so he asked again.

"Your Highness, do you think that I, Zhao, am a person who talks nonsense?" Zhao Gongming laughed.

"Your Majesty, I also propose that Xia Yun be the final commander of this decisive battle."

At this time, Lei Zhenning on the side also spoke.

The two governors recommended him together. There is no doubt that they had discussed it privately before coming to the central military tent.

"In that case, pass on my order that Xia Yun will be the final commander of this decisive battle, commanding the court's more than 700,000 troops!"

The empress made the final decision immediately.

"Congratulations, Master Xia."

"Congratulations, handsome!"

"..."

Suddenly, congratulations rang out in the central military tent, and almost everyone clasped their fists and bowed to Xia Yun.

"Thanks for your trust, Xia will do his best to win this battle!"

Xia Yun nodded, a look of determination on his face.

Then Xia Yun turned his gaze back to the map, and the aura he exuded became much more stable.

"Pass on my order. On the road from Chunjun City to the sea from the east, withdraw all ambush troops and only leave 2,000 cavalry as a cover."

"In addition, at noon tomorrow, mobilize all siege weapons and formally launch the attack on the three city gates in the west, south and north of Chunyun City!"

The two short sentences from Xia Yun set the tone for this final battle.

When large-scale military operations are carried out, what matters is clear discipline and the ability to convey orders in a unified manner.

In the current situation, there is no question of whether the troops are extraordinary or not.

Both sides have already played their cards on the table. The Japanese pirates must either fight to the death or flee eastward across the sea.

No matter which choice the Japanese pirates make, the more than 700,000 soldiers and horses under Xia Yun's command are fully prepared!

"We will obey the Marshal's orders!"

At that moment, all the civil and military officials in the central army tent responded in unison!

Time flies.

The next day arrived at dawn.

More than 300,000 imperial troops who came from the direction of Diaoyu City successfully arrived at the west gate of Chunyun City.

As a result, the west, south and north directions of Chunyun City have been surrounded by heavy troops of the imperial army.

The ambush troops originally arranged to the east of Chunjun City had all withdrawn in the middle of the night.

"Pass the order to the commander-in-chief. All siege troops move forward immediately until all siege weapons are used up!"

"Send the order from the commander-in-chief. The grain transport troops have arrived. All troops should quickly go to the military rations office to collect the grain!"

"Pass on the commander's order. After breakfast, all cavalry units should quickly assemble outside the central army tent and wait for orders!"

"..."

In the military camp where the atmosphere was extremely tense and serious, Xia Yun's orders were transmitted to every corner.

All the troops are making final preparations before the war.

In order to boost morale, Xia Yun asked the newly arrived grain transport team to take out all the meat and distribute it on the spot to the more than 700,000 troops.

The empress then led the army in person and personally climbed onto a stone platform to deliver a stirring pre-war speech.

This action was very effective and instantly aroused the determination of all soldiers to defend their country.

Eight in the morning.

Under Zhao Yun's command, nearly 100,000 siege troops launched a violent attack on the three walls of Chunyun City from the west, south and north of Chunyun City!

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"..."

Even though the troops were not equipped with siege artillery, the entire battlefield was still filled with an earth-shaking roar due to the large number of giant catapults.

Although Chunyun City is not small, it is not a city built specifically for war.

Therefore, as the siege troops launched fierce attacks one after another, the three walls of Chunyun City collapsed rapidly.

The Japanese pirate defenders in the city also launched a counterattack, and powerful cannons began to roar immediately.

In this battle, although the Japanese pirates' artillery was powerful, the number of the siege troops was as high as 100,000 after all, and there were thousands of giant catapults set up outside the three walls of Chunyun City!

Therefore, the two sides only bombarded each other for half an hour, and all the Japanese pirates' artillery in Chunyun City were exhausted!

It's half past nine in the morning.

As earth-shaking tremors spread, the three walls of Chunyun City collapsed into ruins.

At the same time, the 100,000 siege troops stopped firing boulders.

The sound of horns, as if coming from an ancient battlefield, resounded throughout the world.

"Woo~"

"Woo~"

Along with the sound of the horn, there appeared 400,000 infantrymen commanded by Xia Yun.

Amidst a thunderous roar, 400,000 infantrymen officially launched a charge towards Chunjun City from the three city gates!

Although the Japanese pirates were on the verge of despair, they did not give up resistance directly.

A large number of Japanese pirates emerged from the city and organized defensive positions on the ruins of the city wall.

In a flash, hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides launched an extremely fierce and bloody battle!

The sounds of various war drums, horns, and the deafening sounds of killing mixed together, turning the entire battlefield into an Asura hell!
