This time was no exception.

Under normal circumstances, it would be fine if both sides spat at each other.

But this time, the scholars had made a big mess.

On the surface, it seemed like the officials in the imperial court had given up on the northwest and focused on building a line of defense at Dragon Crouching Pass and Futian Pass, but in reality, it was the emperor’s tacit approval.

This group of scholars pointed at this decree and started to curse.

Wouldn’t he be scolding the emperor?

The emperor naturally could not tolerate such an act of overstepping his authority.

Thus, the emperor, who would always pretend to be the referee in such situations, did not mediate in his rage. Instead, he allowed both sides to criticize him.

In this kind of situation, under the big week, the internal contradictions between the two intensified once again.

If it weren’t for the fact that the army of the capital region was still fighting outside, the nobles who controlled the Great Zhou would probably have already turned against the scholars and the nobles with different surnames behind them.

.0.

In Northern Glacier Town, the battle between the two sides was still ongoing.

At this moment, everyone, including Great Qin in the northwest and Great Qi in the northeast, was watching this battle.

There was no need to say much about Great Qin.

The Ninth Prince and Li Yueming had a close relationship. For a long time, Li Yueming had the upper hand in their exchanges.

Because Li Yueming had a very good relationship with the little fox, he controlled the vital point of the Qin country’s invasion into the Northern Lands. Due to the situation, the Ninth Prince had no choice but to lower his head.

Clearly, the State of Qin was many times stronger than Li Yueming, but they had always been restrained by Li Yueming.

This was undoubtedly very aggrieved for the State of Qin and the Ninth Prince.

The Great Zhou army attacking Northern Ice River Town was a once in a lifetime opportunity for Great Qin.

If Li Yueming couldn’t hold on, there were only a few people in Northern Ice River Town who could seek help.

Great Qin was one of the best choices.

When the time came, the Ninth Prince, who had gained the initiative, would definitely ask Li Yueming to give up the path to the snowy mountain and kick Li Yueming away completely.

As for the Northern Qi in the northeast, they had been reorganizing and trammg tnelr army ror tne past rew years.

Because for the past thousand years, the government had been focusing on maritime politics, and the land army had not had any conflicts with other countries for many years.Discover new chapters at novelhall.com

During this period of fierce attacks, the city wall of Northern Ice River Town had been cut off by more than ten inches. The Star-Moon Army had also become an arrow at the end of its flight. Now, the rations in the United Army Camp could last for another month. He did not believe that they could not break through Northern Ice River Town in this month.

Even if there was really no other way, it would not affect the overall situation if they retreated in the middle of the month.

Thinking of this, the alliance army decided to continue attacking.

.0.

He looked down at the army that was charging at him like a tide.

Li Yueming revealed a smile. He was not afraid of the alliance army continuing to attack, but he was afraid of the alliance army retreating decisively.

Northern Glacier Town only had a population of less than a million people. Even if they could gather the strength of the people of the entire Northwest, they would only have less than ten million people.

It was absolutely impossible to fight against the Great Zhou with just this bit of strength.

Let me give you a simple example.

The Star-Moon Army had lost close to 100,000 soldiers in this war. If they wanted to replenish these soldiers, it would take 20 years for the population of Glacier Town in the north to recover. Even if they relaxed the recruitment authority of the army and recruited soldiers from all over the north, it would still take 10 years to recover their strength before the war.

However, the Great Zhou Empire was backed by the rich and vast Central Plains. Whether it was in terms of military strength or population, they were ten times more powerful than Northern Ice River Town. Similarly, if they were given ten years, not only would they be able to recover their strength, but they would also be able to reorganize a million strong army.

This was the difference between the two sides.

It was also why there were countries in ancient times who could defeat another country five or six times.

However, they only needed to lose once to directly destroy the country.

Therefore, Li Yueming didn’t just want to defeat the allied forces, he wanted to defeat them and obtain the greatest victory with the smallest price.

Only by hurting the Great Zhou and letting everyone in the world see the powerful combat strength of the Starmoon Troop and the fierce inner power of the Great Zhou could Northern Ice River Town be preserved and not be swallowed by endless wars.

Otherwise, Li Yueming’s only option would be to give up on North Glacier Town and escape into the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

They found that the alliance army had charged forward again.

A chiliarch of the Starmoon Troop stood on the high city wall and looked at the tired soldiers. He said,””Everyone, take a good look. Behind you is the home that we built brick by brick!”

Every household living in it is a Northland citizen who was affected by the war. Every single one of them is a fellow citizen of our Starmoon Troop...”

“Thanks to Great General Li, we refugees were able to survive and even learned how to read and write. It was also thanks to Great General Li that we joined the Star Moon Army and became a part of protecting our homeland in Northern Ice

River Town!”

“I don’t understand the righteous path of the king, nor do I understand what it means to be a traitor. The Zhou Dynasty labeled us as traitors, but they never considered that the people of the northwest had never had a good day under their rule!”

“General Li gave us the land to live on, the opportunities to study and work, and the hope to live a good life. Therefore, he is our second parent!”

General Li had already sent people to cut off the supply routes of the alliance army. In less than half a month, the Liang army would definitely be unable to withstand the pressure and retreat!”

“This is the final darkness before dawn. As long as we can hold on, victory will definitely belong to Northern Ice River Town and our Star-Moon Army!”
